Value Collection 0608EPP188 6-32 X 0.5 in Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0608EPP188 is a 6-32 x 0.5-inch pan head Phillips drive machine screw manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel. Designed to the ASME B18.13 fastener standard, this screw features an external tooth washer style and length measured under the head. The 18-8 stainless construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and electrical enclosure applications. These screws are sold as a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making them appropriate for production, maintenance, and service technician use where a reliable supply of standard fasteners is needed.

These machine screws are suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, and equipment enclosure work across HVAC, electrical, and general trade service environments. The 6-32 thread size is a common standard for securing terminal blocks, cover plates, and small component brackets. The pan head profile provides a low-clearance bearing surface and is compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and power drivers. Installation in electrical enclosures should conform to applicable NEC requirements for fastener materials and corrosion resistance.

Designed as a standard 6-32 x 0.5-inch pan head Phillips machine screw per ASME B18.13, suitable for use in general mechanical and electrical assemblies requiring unified inch-series fasteners in this thread and length specification.

Installation Notes

These screws are installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals using a Phillips screwdriver or appropriate power driver bit. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening or removing screws on live panels or enclosures. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur on mating stainless threads; use appropriate anti-seize compound where thread galling is a concern. Verify thread engagement depth is adequate for the mating material before final assembly.
