Value Collection 1240MPP Machine Screw 12-24 X 2.5 in Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1240MPP is a 12-24 x 2.5-inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. Built to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this fastener is suited for general-purpose mechanical assembly where a low-profile pan head and Phillips drive are required. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications. Measuring 2.5 inches under the head, this screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production environments, maintenance shops, and field service kits.

This screw is used in a wide range of light industrial and mechanical assembly applications. The 12-24 thread size is a common unified coarse pitch used in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, control cabinets, and general sheet metal assemblies. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area than a flat or oval head, making it well suited for through-hole fastening without a countersunk seat. Installation is straightforward with standard Phillips tooling.

Key Features

• 12-24 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive for use with common hand tools and power drivers
• Zinc-plated steel finish for light corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Sold in multiples of 100 for production and service stock applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 12-24 threaded fastener with a pan head and Phillips drive, including electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver with the appropriate bit size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 12-24 specifications before installation. Do not overtighten in thin sheet metal applications, as the pan head can distort the material or strip the thread. This fastener is intended for use without a washer as supplied.
