Value Collection 1416MST 1/4-20 X 1 in Truss Head Slotted Machine

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1416MST is a 1/4-20 truss head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal, wood, and composite assemblies. It features a slotted drive and measures 1 inch in length under the head, conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional standards. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, this screw resists corrosion in typical indoor and light-duty applications. The truss head profile offers a wider, lower-profile bearing surface than a standard pan head, distributing clamp load across a larger contact area. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package, making it suitable for contractors, maintenance crews, and production shops needing bulk supply.

This screw is commonly used in light structural assemblies, equipment panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC ductwork brackets, and general mechanical fabrication. The 1/4-20 unified coarse thread is one of the most widely used thread pitches in North American trade work, ensuring broad tooling and nut compatibility. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-blade screwdrivers, which remain common in field service environments. This fastener is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a zinc-plated steel fastener meets the corrosion and strength requirements of the job.

Key Features

• Truss head profile provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface for increased clamp load distribution
• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• 1 inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• Zinc finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards
• Sold in multiples of 100 pieces, suitable for production and bulk service use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 inch-series machine screw suitable for use with any 1/4-20 tapped hole or nut conforming to ASME B18.6.3 dimensional requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized for a 1/4-20 fastener. Ensure mating threads are clean and properly tapped before driving to avoid cross-threading or fastener damage. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes when fastening into enclosures or structural components. Do not exceed the rated clamping capacity of the base material.
