Value Collection 588027PR 3-48x1/2 Round Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 588027PR is a 3-48 x 1/2 inch round head machine screw designed for precision fastening applications in light mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw meets the ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards for dimensional accuracy and material grade compliance. The Phillips drive allows for fast installation with common hand and power tools. The length is measured under the head at 1/2 inch, and the round head profile provides a low-profile, finished appearance on the work surface. This fastener is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working on instrumentation panels, electrical enclosures, and light-duty mechanical components.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial maintenance environments, precision instrument assembly, electronics enclosures, and general light mechanical work where a 3-48 thread pitch is specified. The zinc finish offers moderate corrosion resistance in indoor and sheltered environments. The round head style is commonly used where a flush seating under the head and a clean finished appearance are priorities. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 per package.

Key Features

• Steel construction to Material Grade J82 per ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards
• Zinc finish for moderate indoor corrosion resistance
• Length under head measured at 1/2 inch for consistent fit in threaded assemblies
• Sold in multiples of 100 for production and maintenance stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system machine screw for any application requiring a 3-48 threaded fastener with a round head Phillips drive configuration per ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, machinists, or assembly personnel using a standard Phillips screwdriver or bit driver sized for a number 3 screw. Ensure the mating thread is clean and properly tapped to 3-48 before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten, as the 3-48 thread is fine and small-diameter screws are susceptible to shear if torque is excessive. Use thread engagement depth appropriate to the base material to achieve full holding strength.
