Value Collection 1004MST 10-24 Truss Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1004MST is a 10-24 unified coarse thread machine screw with a truss head and slotted drive. It measures 0.25 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. The truss head profile sits low and wide, providing a larger bearing surface than a pan head and a clean appearance in visible fastening applications. This fastener conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it suitable for general-purpose mechanical assembly. These screws are sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units and are installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC service professionals, and mechanical assemblers across a wide range of light-duty applications.

The 1004MST is suited for general mechanical assembly where a low-profile, broad-bearing head is needed in a smaller screw size. Typical applications include enclosure assembly, junction box covers, control panel components, appliance housings, and sheet metal work. The 10-24 thread size is common in electrical and HVAC equipment, and the slotted drive allows installation with a standard flathead screwdriver. No special tooling is required. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments.

Key Features

• 10-24 unified coarse thread for broad hardware compatibility
• Truss head profile offers a wide, low-profile bearing surface
• Slotted drive accepts standard flathead screwdrivers
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• 0.25 inch length under head suits thin material fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 10-24 machine screw for use in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment housings, and standard mechanical assemblies requiring a truss head slotted fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard flathead screwdriver sized for the slotted drive. Ensure the receiving material is pre-tapped or fitted with a matching 10-24 threaded insert or nut before driving the screw. Do not overtighten, as the small screw diameter and steel construction are subject to thread stripping in softer base materials. Follow applicable NFPA 70 or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical enclosure components.
