Value Collection 94644 Oval Head Phillips Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 94644 is a 1/4-20 x 1-1/4 inch oval head Phillips 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. The oval head profile sits flush with a slightly domed top, providing a clean finish in countersunk applications. This fastener is suited for light fabrication, equipment assembly, enclosure mounting, and general mechanical work where corrosion resistance is a priority. Installation requires a standard Phillips screwdriver or bit driver.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and commercial applications where stainless steel fasteners are specified to resist rust and corrosion. Common installation scenarios include electrical enclosures, HVAC access panels, plumbing fixture hardware, pool equipment housings, and general sheet metal or light structural assembly. The 1/4-20 thread size is one of the most widely used coarse thread standards in North American trade work, compatible with standard 1/4-20 threaded inserts, nuts, and tapped holes. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Oval head with Phillips drive for countersunk installations requiring a low-profile domed finish
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable for visible fastener applications
• Overall length and length under head both measure 1-1/4 inches
• No washer — designed for use with standard countersunk clearance holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC machine screw for use wherever a 1/4-20 coarse-thread fastener with an oval Phillips head is specified in mechanical, electrical, or plumbing assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or tradesperson familiar with fastener torque requirements for the mating material. Use a correctly sized Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Always ensure the receiving hole is properly countersunk to match the oval head angle before driving the screw. Stainless steel fasteners can be prone to galling in threaded metal applications — use appropriate anti-seize compound if required by the application.
