Value Collection 588529PR 12-24x1/2 Round Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 588529PR is a 12-24 x 1/2 inch round head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. Designed to meet ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this fastener delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical assembly applications. The round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows for reliable torque application with standard tooling. Sold in a minimum quantity of 100 pieces per order, making this well-suited for production environments, maintenance shops, and contractors who need a reliable supply of standardized fasteners on hand.

This machine screw is used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies across a wide range of industries including HVAC equipment fabrication, electrical panel assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, and general sheet metal work. The 12-24 thread size is a common coarse-thread designation compatible with standard tapped holes in steel and aluminum components. Length is measured under the head at 1/2 inch, consistent with ASME B18.6.3 measurement conventions. These screws are a staple fastener in trade shops requiring volume stock of inch-series hardware.

Key Features

• 12-24 thread size with 1/2 inch length under head per ASME B18.6.3
• Round head profile provides broad bearing surface for panel and bracket assembly
• Phillips drive for use with standard Phillips screwdrivers and bits
• Steel construction with zinc finish for corrosion resistance in indoor applications
• Meets SAE J82 material grade J82 specification
• Sold in multiples of 100 for production and stocking convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 12-24 tapped hole with a round head Phillips drive fastener per ASME B18.6.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Avoid over-torquing, which can strip the 12-24 thread or damage the Phillips drive recess. For critical structural or electrical enclosure applications, consult applicable codes such as NEC or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines.
