Value Collection 38012 10-24 X 0.5 in Round Head Phillips Machine

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 38012 is a 10-24 x 0.5 inch round head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features Unified National Coarse (UNC) threading and is designed for general-purpose fastening in light-duty mechanical and structural assemblies. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance in indoor and mildly humid environments. Installation requires a standard Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it suited for production runs, maintenance stock, or bulk shop supply.

This screw is a standard inch-system fastener used across a wide range of residential and commercial applications. Common uses include securing sheet metal panels, light fixtures, electrical enclosures, HVAC access covers, equipment housings, and other assemblies where a 10-24 UNC threaded fastener is specified. The round head profile sits above the mating surface, making it appropriate where a low-profile head is not required. It is compatible with standard 10-24 threaded holes, inserts, and nuts without a washer under the head.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-system hardware
• 0.5 inch length measured under the head for consistent fastening depth
• Round head profile provides a clean bearing surface above the mating material
• Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers and bit drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-duty fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any assembly specifying a 10-24 UNC x 0.5 inch round head Phillips machine screw without a washer under the head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard Phillips screwdriver or a Phillips bit driver. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 10-24 UNC specification before installation. Do not overtighten Grade 2 fasteners, as they have lower tensile strength than higher-grade hardware and are susceptible to thread stripping. Follow applicable codes and assembly specifications for the equipment being serviced.
