Value Collection 94682 10-32 X 3/8 in Pan Head Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 94682 is a 10-32 x 3/8-inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This fastener uses a unified national fine (UNF) thread form, making it suitable for applications where vibration resistance and close-tolerance fits are required. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than flat or oval head styles. At 0.01 pounds per unit, it is a lightweight fastener intended for light-duty mechanical assemblies. Installation requires a Phillips-head screwdriver or bit driver. Length is measured under the head per standard inch-system fastener convention.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture trim, and general mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 10-32 thread size is a common choice for sheet metal, light structural bracketing, and electronics chassis work. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor service environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for close-tolerance, vibration-resistant fastening
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface and flush-friendly seating
• Phillips drive compatible with standard bit drivers and screwdrivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to chip or peel in service
• Length measured under head at 3/8 inches per inch-system standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system 10-32 UNF machine screw suitable for any application requiring a 10-32 thread, 3/8-inch length-under-head, pan head Phillips fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips No. 2 bit driver or hand screwdriver. Power down or de-energize any electrical or HVAC equipment before accessing fastener locations inside enclosures or panels. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners in tapped stainless holes, as galling can occur — apply an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for panel and enclosure assembly.
