Value Collection 583271PR 6-32 X 2-1/2 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 583271PR is a 6-32 x 2-1/2 inch round head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc finish. This is a Grade 2 fastener sized to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard, measured length under head. Round head geometry provides a low-profile bearing surface without a washer. The zinc finish offers basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty applications. Suitable for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals requiring a reliable standard-inch machine screw for panel assembly, equipment mounting, and mechanical fastening tasks.

This 6-32 thread screw is commonly used in light-gauge metal fastening, electrical enclosures, control panels, junction boxes, and equipment chassis assembly. The slotted drive accommodates a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it accessible in field and shop environments without specialty tooling. The 2-1/2 inch length under head suits applications requiring fastening through moderate material thickness with full thread engagement.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts
• 2-1/2 inch length under head for fastening through moderate material stack-ups
• Round head profile provides a broad bearing surface without requiring a separate washer
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no specialty bit required
• Alloy steel construction with zinc finish for general-duty strength and basic corrosion resistance
• Grade 2 designation meets standard mechanical requirements for light to moderate load applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 6-32 UNC thread, round head, slotted drive fastener without a washer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 6-32 UNC thread specification before installation. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening hardware in or near live panels in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Do not overtighten — alloy steel screws at this diameter can be damaged by excessive torque applied with power tools without a clutch setting.
