Value Collection 588526PR 12-24x3/8 Round Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 588526PR is a 12-24 x 3/8 inch round head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. Sized at 3/8 inch under the head on a 12-24 unified coarse thread, it delivers reliable clamping force in light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. The round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface without a washer, and the Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips bits or driver tips. Sold in packages of 100, these screws are suited for production assembly, panel mounting, and general mechanical fastening tasks performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, equipment assemblers, and maintenance trades.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and commercial equipment enclosures, electrical panels, junction boxes, HVAC equipment cabinets, and general sheet metal or machined-component assemblies where a 12-24 threaded hole or nut is present. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected outdoor environments. The 3/8 inch under-head length suits thin-to-medium material stack-ups without excess thread protrusion.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 12-24 x 3/8 inch round head Phillips machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3 compliant fastener in a 12-24 tapped hole or with a matching hex nut.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips bit driver; use the correct bit size to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening screws in or near live panels or enclosures, per applicable NEC requirements. Do not overtorque — steel screws in tapped sheet metal can strip threads if driven beyond snug-plus-slight-turn by hand.
