Value Collection 588531PR Machine Screw 12-24 X 5/8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 588531PR is a 12-24 x 5/8 inch round head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and light structural applications. The round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface, and the Phillips drive allows for efficient installation with standard hand or power tools. Length is measured under the head. These screws are suited for use by maintenance technicians, equipment assemblers, and general contractors working with inch-system fasteners.

These screws are commonly used in commercial and industrial maintenance, light manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, and general mechanical repair. The 12-24 thread size is a standard coarse-thread designation widely found in sheet metal frames, junction boxes, and equipment housings. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and dry-environment applications. They are packaged individually but must be ordered in multiples of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• 12-24 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 5/8 inch length measured under the head
• Round head profile with Phillips drive for standard installation tooling
• Steel construction with zinc finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• No washer — designed for direct seating against the mating surface

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 12-24 tapped holes in inch-system applications including equipment enclosures, electrical panels, HVAC components, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a round head Phillips fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard Phillips screwdriver or Phillips bit driver. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 12-24 specifications before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten, as steel screws in softer base materials can strip threads. Power down any electrical equipment before fastening work in or around live panels.
