Value Collection 580231PR 6-32x1 Flat Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 580231PR is a 6-32 x 1 inch overall length flat head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in light industrial, mechanical, and electrical assembly applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flathead screwdriver. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected environments. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a countersunk hole. Thread engagement follows the Unified National Coarse standard, making it compatible with tapped holes and standard 6-32 nuts and inserts. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians working on panel boxes, brackets, and enclosures commonly use this fastener.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial electrical, HVAC, and mechanical panel assembly work where a low-profile flush fastener is required. Typical applications include securing control boards, junction box covers, mounting brackets, and sheet metal sub-assemblies. The 1 inch overall length provides sufficient thread engagement for standard metal and plastic substrates. These screws are sold with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

Install using a flathead screwdriver sized to the slot width to avoid cam-out and slot damage. When installing into tapped metal or plastic, ensure the countersink angle matches the flat head geometry for a proper flush fit. Do not overtighten into soft substrates such as plastic, as Grade 2 steel at this diameter can strip the mating thread. De-energize any electrical panel or control enclosure fully before fastening or removing screws on live equipment.
