Value Collection 1216MSP 12-24x1 Pan Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1216MSP is a 12-24 unified coarse thread machine screw with a pan head and slotted drive, sized at 1 inch length under head. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional and mechanical consistency. The pan head profile provides a low, rounded top surface with a flat bearing face, making it suitable for general-purpose clamping and assembly applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet-metal fabricators regularly use this screw type when assembling enclosures, mounting components, or securing panels. The zinc finish offers baseline corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments.

This screw is used in residential and commercial trade applications where a standard inch-series threaded fastener is required. Typical install scenarios include securing control board mounting brackets, panel enclosure covers, fan blade assemblies, and terminal strip mounts inside HVAC equipment. It is also commonly used in electrical panel work and plumbing fixture assembly. The 12-24 thread size is widely encountered in equipment manufactured to inch standards, and the slotted drive is compatible with flat-blade screwdrivers. Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity is 100 pieces.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 12-24 inch-series machine screw with a pan head slotted drive and 1 inch length under head, including HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical panels, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a pre-tapped or threaded insert hole sized for a 12-24 thread; verify thread engagement before applying torque. Use a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening inside electrical enclosures. Do not use in outdoor or high-moisture environments without additional corrosion protection beyond the zinc finish.
