Value Collection 0314MPP 3-48 X 7/8 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0314MPP is a 3-48 pan head Phillips machine screw designed for precision fastening applications in light mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 7/8 inches in length under head and uses a #3-48 unified coarse thread form. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and controlled-environment installations. At 0.00161 pounds per screw, these fasteners are sized for small-gauge work where thread engagement and head profile matter. They conform to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making them a verified fit for applications that specify those fastener standards. These screws are sold in multiples of 100.

This screw is well suited for light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly work where a #3-48 thread is specified. Common applications include securing small panels, terminal blocks, housing covers, and instrument enclosures. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface with full Phillips drive engagement, reducing the chance of cam-out during installation. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and light mechanical assemblers working with small-gauge fasteners will find this screw appropriate for applications that require compliance with ASME B18.6.3 or SAE J82 fastener standards.

• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Sold without washer; minimum order quantity of 100 per package

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for any application specifying a 3-48 x 7/8-inch pan head Phillips fastener per ASME B18.6.3 or SAE J82.

Installation Notes

Install with a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or driver bit to avoid cam-out and head damage on these small-gauge fasteners. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. When used in electrical enclosures or panels, follow applicable NEC guidelines for fastener installation near live components and power down the equipment before service. Do not overtighten, as the 3-48 thread form has limited torque capacity.
