Value Collection 1008EPP 10-24 X 0.5 in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1008EPP is a 10-24 x 0.5-inch pan head machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material consistency. The pan head profile offers a low-profile bearing surface suited for assemblies where a flush or recessed finish is not required. The Phillips drive accepts standard #2 Phillips bits and screwdrivers. An external tooth washer style is integrated into the fastener design, providing added locking resistance under vibration. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This machine screw is used across a wide range of light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and control cabinet fabrication. The 10-24 thread size is a common unified coarse thread used in sheet metal, thin-plate, and pre-tapped component applications. The 0.5-inch length measured under the head makes it suitable for thin-material fastening where thread engagement depth is limited. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals routinely use this fastener size for panel and bracket installations.

Key Features

• 10-24 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in pre-tapped holes and thin materials
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface without requiring a countersunk hole
• Phillips drive compatible with standard #2 bits and hand drivers
• Zinc-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications
• External tooth washer style adds vibration-resistant locking at the bearing surface
• Meets ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use machine screw for any application requiring a 10-24 thread, 0.5-inch length under head, pan head Phillips fastener in inch measurement systems.

Installation Notes

Install using a #2 Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to a low clutch setting to avoid stripping the drive recess in smaller screw sizes. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 10-24 threads before installation. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening components inside live panels or enclosures, following NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout procedures. Do not over-torque; steel screws in thin sheet metal or softer substrates can strip threads if excessive force is applied.
