Value Collection 1406MSP 1/4-20 X 3/8 in Pan Head Slotted Machine

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1406MSP is a 1/4-20 pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It measures 3/8 inches in length under the head and meets the ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards. This screw is designed for general mechanical assembly applications where a low-profile pan head and corrosion-resistant zinc coating are required. It is supplied without a washer. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical tradespeople use screws of this type for panel mounting, bracket attachment, and equipment enclosure assembly. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

This machine screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in both residential and commercial trade environments. Its 1/4-20 thread size is one of the most common unified coarse thread designations in inch-measurement fastening, making it a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventories. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance in typical indoor or sheltered outdoor applications. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-head screwdriver, keeping tooling requirements minimal.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface without sharp edges
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-head screwdrivers
• Zinc finish delivers basic corrosion resistance for general-use environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Steel construction for reliable tensile strength in mechanical fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 threaded fastener with a pan head slotted drive configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-head screwdriver sized to the slotted drive. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 1/4-20 specifications or that a compatible nut is used. Power down or de-energize any equipment before inserting fasteners near electrical components. Do not over-torque steel screws into soft or thin-walled materials, as thread stripping can result.
