Value Collection 1148MSP 10-32 X 3 in Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1148MSP is a 10-32 unified fine-thread machine screw with a pan head and slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. At 3 inches length under head, this fastener is sized for applications requiring deeper thread engagement in sheet metal, light structural panels, or machined enclosures. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a dependable choice where dimensional and material grade consistency matters. Installers working in electrical panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and general mechanical assemblies will find this a standard-stock item.

This screw is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications. The 10-32 thread is a common size in control panel assembly, equipment cover attachment, and chassis mounting. The zinc finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance appropriate for dry indoor environments. The slotted drive accommodates a flat-blade screwdriver, which remains a common tool in panel and equipment service work.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for consistent engagement in standard tapped holes
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Zinc finish provides indoor corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Steel construction with Material Grade J82 for defined mechanical properties

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 x 3-inch pan head machine screw for use in any application requiring a unified fine-thread fastener of this head style, drive type, and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical trades. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and properly threaded to 10-32 UNF specification before installation. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before inserting or removing fasteners in live panels or equipment enclosures. Do not overtighten slotted-drive fasteners, as the drive form is susceptible to cam-out under high torque.
