Value Collection 1105EPP 10-32 X 5/16 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1105EPP is a 10-32 x 5/16 inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. This fastener is designed for general-purpose mechanical assembly work where a low-profile, positive-drive fastener is required. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a No. 10 diameter with 32 threads per inch, a fine-pitch unified thread pattern common in instrument, electrical panel, and light mechanical applications. The external tooth lock washer style integrated with this fastener provides resistance to loosening under vibration. Material grade J82 and compliance with ASME B18.13a and SAE J82 standards confirm consistent dimensional and mechanical quality across the production run.

This screw is suited for use in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and light mechanical assemblies where a Phillips drive and pan head profile are specified. The pan head design provides a wide bearing surface without countersinking, making it appropriate for thin sheet metal, plastic panels, and pre-tapped metal components. Maintenance technicians, electricians, and HVAC service professionals commonly stock this fastener size for field repairs and panel work. This item is packaged individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 pan head Phillips machine screw for use in any application calling for ASME B18.13a or SAE J82 compliant fasteners in this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips screwdriver or appropriate Phillips bit in a power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the drive recess or the mating threads. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 10-32 specification before installation. When used in electrical enclosures or panel work, follow applicable NEC requirements for fastener type and panel integrity. Avoid overtightening in plastic or thin-gauge sheet metal to prevent thread damage.
