Value Collection 3TSMPF10F012 Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSMPF10F012 is a 10-32 x 3/4-inch flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form, which provides a tighter thread pitch suited to applications requiring reduced vibration loosening or finer torque control. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when countersunk, making this screw appropriate for panels, enclosures, and equipment covers where a smooth face is required. At 0.003 pounds per unit, these are lightweight fasteners intended for light-duty mechanical assembly in corrosion-prone environments. Sold in multiples of 25 per order.

Grade 316 stainless steel offers elevated resistance to chlorides and salt-laden environments compared to standard 304 stainless, making these screws well-suited for coastal HVAC installations, pool equipment enclosures, marine electrical panels, and outdoor plumbing access covers. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers commonly used in panel assembly and equipment mounting. Overall length and length under head are both 3/4 inch, indicating no washer face or underhead relief. Typical users include HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbing contractors performing enclosure work or equipment panel assembly in wet or corrosive service environments.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in chloride and saltwater-exposed environments
• 10-32 UNF thread provides fine thread pitch for vibration-resistant fastening
• Flat head profile countersinks flush for smooth panel and enclosure surfaces
• Phillips drive compatible with standard power and hand tools
• Bright, uncoated finish with no additional plating or coating
• Without washer style — length under head equals overall length at 3/4 inch

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring a flush-mount flat head fastener with a 3/4-inch overall length and Grade 316 stainless steel corrosion resistance.

Installation Notes

A properly sized countersink must be prepared in the mating material before installing a flat head screw to achieve a flush seating surface. Power down all electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before performing any panel or enclosure work involving fastener replacement or installation. Use a Phillips driver bit that fully seats in the recess to avoid cam-out and head damage, particularly in stainless steel fasteners which are susceptible to galling. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when securing electrical enclosure components.
