Value Collection 1172MSR 10-32 X 4.5in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1172MSR is a 10-32 machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, designed for general-purpose fastening in metal and structural assemblies. It measures 4.5 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. Conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this screw is suited for applications where a standardized inch-series thread and a low-profile round head are required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors use this type of fastener when assembling panels, brackets, equipment enclosures, and similar hardware.

This screw is appropriate for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade environments. The 10-32 unified fine thread provides strong thread engagement in tapped holes, making it a common choice for electrical panel work, equipment mounting, and fixture assembly. The zinc finish offers a degree of protection in dry and mildly humid indoor environments. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, this screw is well suited for shops, service fleets, and job-site supply bins where consistent fastener stock is maintained.

Key Features

• Round head profile distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor use
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in pre-tapped 10-32 threaded holes across a wide range of metal assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels common in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical trade work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate hand tools or power drivers set to a controlled torque to avoid stripping the slotted drive or damaging threads. Always verify that the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before fastening. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures or mechanical systems. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before inserting or removing fasteners in live panels.
