Value Collection 74683814 Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 74683814 is a 10-32 x 3/8-inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form. Each screw measures 3/8 inches in length under the head and is supplied without a washer. The pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for general fastening applications. Grade 2 steel offers adequate tensile strength for light-duty mechanical assemblies where high-alloy or stainless fasteners are not required. These screws are sold in packages of 25 and are available in a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

These machine screws are suited for general-purpose mechanical fastening in residential and commercial maintenance, light manufacturing, panel assembly, and trade service work. Common applications include securing electrical enclosure covers, control panels, junction boxes, and equipment housings where a 10-32 UNF thread is called out. HVAC technicians, electricians, and general maintenance personnel regularly use this thread size for attaching components inside control panels and equipment cabinets.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread form ensures precise fit with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts

• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand drivers and power tools
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for light-duty fastening applications
• Length measured under head at 3/8 inches for accurate depth planning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF machine screw for use wherever a pan head Phillips fastener of this thread size and length is specified. Fits any application using a 10-32 tapped hole or threaded insert per Unified National Fine standards.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tooling beyond a Phillips screwdriver or compatible power driver bit. Verify that the mating thread is a 10-32 UNF tapped hole before installation to avoid cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten Grade 2 steel fasteners in soft or thin-wall materials, as this thread size and grade can strip under excessive torque.
