Value Collection 1414MSP 1/4-20 X 7/8 in Pan Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1414MSP is a 1/4-20 pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it suitable for applications that require a recognized dimensional and strength baseline. At 7/8 inches in length under head, it provides reliable clamping depth for light-gauge metal, sheet metal enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, it is well suited for service vans, shop stock, and production line use.

This screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial trade work wherever a 1/4-20 thread pattern is specified. Typical installation scenarios include securing control panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment covers, and access doors. The pan head profile offers a low-clearance bearing surface with a wide contact area, and the slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bit drivers. It installs without a washer, with the length measured from directly under the head.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 thread size, inch measurement system
• 7/8 inches length under head for consistent clamping depth

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 inch-series machine screw for use in equipment assemblies, enclosures, and mechanical panels where a pan head slotted fastener without washer is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver sized for a 1/4-20 pan head screw. De-energize all electrical equipment and shut off any associated systems before fastener service on live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten in thin-gauge sheet metal; thread engagement depth should be appropriate for the base material. Follow applicable code requirements, including NEC guidelines when fastening electrical enclosures.
