Value Collection 3106MPP 5/16-18 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3106MPP is a 5/16-18 coarse-thread machine screw with a pan head and Phillips drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It measures 3/8 inches in length under the head and meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and mechanical standards. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty applications. This screw is a standard inch-system fastener used across electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and light mechanical assembly work where a low-profile pan head and Phillips drive are specified.

This fastener is suited for attaching panels, brackets, covers, and light structural components in residential and commercial trade applications. The pan head style distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than a flat head, making it a common choice for sheet metal, electrical enclosures, and equipment housings. It installs without a washer and works with standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits. These are sold in multiples of 100 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-system machine screw for use in any application calling for a 5/16-18 x 3/8 inch pan head Phillips fastener with a zinc-finished steel body and no washer.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Confirm the mating tapped hole or nut is 5/16-18 thread before driving. Do not overtighten — apply torque appropriate to the steel grade and the receiving material. Power down any electrical equipment before installing fasteners in enclosures or control panels.
