Value Collection 1205MSR 12-24 X 5/16 Round Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1205MSR is a 12-24 UNC machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, designed for general-purpose fastening in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. It measures 5/16 inches in length under the head and is manufactured from steel with a zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance. The screw conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it suitable for applications where dimensional consistency and material grade traceability matter. This fastener is used by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC installers, and general contractors in light to medium-duty assembly work.

This screw is suited for panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, equipment mounting, and light structural fastening in both residential and commercial settings. The 12-24 thread size is a common coarse-pitch machine thread found in equipment manufactured to inch-standard dimensions. The slotted drive accepts a flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible in field conditions where specialized bits may not be on hand. This item is sold in a package of 100 per order, which fits standard stock replenishment for service vans and shop inventory.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot to avoid cam-out or head damage. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening or removing screws from live panels or enclosures, following applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout procedures. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic or thin sheet metal, as 12-24 threads can strip light-gauge material. Inspect the zinc finish for damage before use in wet or corrosive environments where a more protective coating may be required.
