Value Collection 1440MSP 1/4-20 X 2.5 in Pan Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1440MSP is a 1/4-20 x 2.5-inch pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. Compliant with ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this fastener meets Material Grade J82 specifications for dimensional and mechanical consistency. The pan head profile provides a low-profile, wide-bearing surface suited to general mechanical assembly. The zinc plating offers basic corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid service environments. Length is measured under the head. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical tradespeople use this screw type in panel assembly, equipment mounting, and enclosure fabrication.

This fastener is used in light to medium-duty mechanical assembly across residential and commercial trade applications. Typical uses include securing electrical panel components, HVAC equipment covers, plumbing access panels, and general sheet metal or structural assemblies where a 1/4-20 thread is specified. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power-drive bits. Sold individually per package; minimum order quantity is 100 units.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized for a 1/4-20 pan head fastener. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before fastener work on live panels or enclosures. Thread the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading before applying torque. Follow equipment manufacturer specifications and applicable codes such as NEC or IFGC for fastener torque and assembly requirements.
