Value Collection 1012MSP Pan Head Machine Screw 10-24 0.75in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1012MSP is a pan head, slotted machine screw designed for general fastening applications in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. Threaded 10-24 UNC with a 0.75-inch length under head, it is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish that provides basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is well-suited for quick assembly work where torque requirements are moderate. These fasteners conform to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency across the lot. Supplied in a minimum quantity of 100 per order, this screw is appropriate for HVAC cabinet assembly, electrical enclosure work, panel mounting, and light mechanical fabrication tasks performed by trade professionals and maintenance technicians.

This fastener is commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies including control panel enclosures, HVAC unit cabinets, junction boxes, equipment frames, and sheet metal work. Its pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than flat or oval head styles, making it a practical choice for soft substrates and thin-gauge metal. The 10-24 UNC thread is a widely stocked size found in residential and light commercial equipment across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad hardware compatibility in trade applications
• 0.75-inch length under head suits typical thin-gauge cabinet and panel fastening
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface to reduce material pull-through
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no special tooling required
• Zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for dry indoor service environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC pan head machine screw for general-purpose fastening in HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assemblies where slotted drive and pan head geometry are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a flat-blade screwdriver matched to the slot width to avoid cam-out and head damage. Always verify that the mating thread in the receiving material — whether a tapped hole, nut, or captive fastener — is clean and correctly sized for 10-24 UNC before driving. De-energize electrical equipment and isolate any pressurized systems before accessing fastener locations on live components. Do not overtighten into thin-gauge sheet metal or plastic as the pan head bearing surface, while wider than other head styles, can still strip the substrate.
