Value Collection 31081 10-24 X 1/2 in Flat Head Slotted Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 31081 is a 10-24 x 1/2-inch flat head slotted machine screw supplied in a pack of 50. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when properly countersunk, making it well suited for applications where a low-profile fastener is required. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Overall length is 1/2 inch, measured from the top of the head to the tip of the thread. These are general-purpose fasteners used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and other tradespeople for panel assembly, equipment mounting, and light structural work.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications where a coarse-thread, inch-system fastener is specified. Typical uses include securing junction box covers, control panel components, light sheet metal assemblies, and similar hardware. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected environments. The pack quantity of 50 units supports job-site stocking and service van inventory.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC inch-system machine screw for use in any application requiring a 10-24 threaded fastener with a flat head and slotted drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized countersunk or flat-bottomed clearance hole in the mating material and a tapped or pre-threaded receiving hole at 10-24 UNC. Use a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot to avoid cam-out or slot damage. Do not overtighten Grade 2 fasteners in soft or thin materials, as the lower tensile rating makes them more susceptible to shear or thread strip-out than higher-grade equivalents. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when using fasteners in panel or equipment assemblies.
