Value Collection 1248MPP Machine Screw 12-24 X 3in Pan Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1248MPP is a 12-24 threaded machine screw with a 3-inch length under head, pan head profile, and Phillips drive. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards. The pan head provides a broad, flat bearing surface suited to general assembly work where a low-profile head is acceptable. The zinc coating offers basic corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty applications. Sold as individual pieces with a minimum order quantity of 10, these screws are a practical stock item for maintenance, fabrication, and general mechanical assembly.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, light sheet metal work, and general mechanical fastening. The 12-24 thread size is a common coarse-thread standard found throughout commercial and residential equipment. The Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard bit drivers or screwguns. No washer is included or integral to this fastener.

Key Features

• 12-24 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 12-24 machine screw for use in any application requiring a pan head Phillips fastener with a 3-inch length under head per ASME B18.6.3 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver into a pre-tapped or through-hole clearance application. Ensure the mating thread is 12-24 before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtorque; steel screws in tapped sheet metal or plastic housings are susceptible to thread stripping. Power down any equipment before accessing internal fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies.
