Value Collection 1248MPF 12-24x3in Flat Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1248MPF is a 12-24 x 3 inch flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a compliant fastener for general mechanical and structural assembly applications. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface of the mating material, and the Phillips drive allows installation with standard Phillips screwdrivers or bits. Overall length is 3 inches, measured from tip to the top of the head. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical trades rely on this fastener type for panel assembly, equipment mounting, and fixture attachment.

This screw is suited for use in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a flush-mount fastener is required. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. The 12-24 thread size is common in equipment panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, and HVAC unit housings. Sold individually by package quantity, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Ensure the receiving material is tapped or fitted with a matching 12-24 nut before driving the screw. For countersunk installations, verify the countersink angle matches the flat head profile to achieve proper flush seating. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when fastening panels or enclosures in regulated installations.
