Value Collection 1204MPP 12-24 X 1/4 in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1204MPP is a 12-24 unified coarse thread machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light industrial applications. This pan head fastener uses a Phillips drive and measures 1/4 inch in length under the head, making it suited for shallow through-hole and tapped-hole applications. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, it meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional and mechanical conformance. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this screw is a stock fastener for maintenance, panel assembly, and equipment repair tasks.

This screw is used wherever a 12-24 threaded hole or nut requires a compact, low-profile pan head fastener. Common installation environments include electrical control panels, junction boxes, sheet metal enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and light-gauge metal fabrication. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface compared to flat head designs, making it appropriate for softer or thinner base materials. No washer is included or required under the head per the listed configuration.

Key Features

• 12-24 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers and power bits
• Zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Sold in multiples of 100 for shop stock and service van inventory

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 12-24 UNC threaded fastener with a 1/4-inch length under head, pan head geometry, and Phillips drive. Suitable for steel, aluminum, and thermoplastic substrates in indoor or protected service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips screwdriver or power driver fitted with a Phillips bit; ensure the bit size matches to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Verify the mating thread is clean and properly tapped to 12-24 UNC before driving. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening hardware inside live enclosures, per applicable NEC requirements. Do not exceed the material yield by overtorquing — use a calibrated torque driver when the assembly specification requires it.
