Value Collection 92512 Flat Head Machine Screw 6-32 X 0.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92512 is a 6-32 x 0.5 inch overall length flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a unified national coarse (UNC) thread form and is measured by overall length with no washer. At 0.01 pounds per unit, it is a lightweight fastener suited for light-duty mechanical assembly, panel mounting, and enclosure work. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when installed in a countersunk hole, making it a common choice where a low-profile finish is required. Installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople in panel, control board, and equipment enclosure applications.

This screw is used in residential and commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant, flush-mount fastener is needed. Typical install scenarios include securing control panels, junction box covers, terminal boards, and light sheet-metal assemblies. The 6-32 thread size is one of the most common in electrical and HVAC enclosure work. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists oxidation, making it suitable for indoor and moderately humid environments where carbon steel would corrode.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread form — standard size for electrical panel and enclosure fastening
• Flat head profile countersinks flush with the mating surface
• Slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver
• Grade 18-8 stainless steel provides corrosion resistance without coating
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake or chip over time
• 0.5 inch overall length equals 0.5 inch length under head — full thread engagement on thin panels

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 6-32 UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring a flat head slotted fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician should de-energize and lock out any panel or enclosure before installing or removing fasteners. Use a properly fitting flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and slot damage on the stainless head. Pre-drill or use an existing 6-32 tapped hole — do not force threads into un-tapped material. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures.
