Value Collection 94698 Machine Screw 1/4-20 2-1/2 in Pan Phillips Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 94698 is a 1/4-20 x 2-1/2 inch pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish. The unified national coarse (UNC) thread pattern and stainless construction make this screw a reliable fastener for general mechanical assembly, electrical enclosure work, HVAC equipment panels, and plumbing fixture installations. Each screw is measured length-under-head at 2-1/2 inches. This listing includes 25 pieces per package. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in corrosive or wet environments will find the 18-8 stainless grade appropriate for applications where carbon steel would oxidize.

These screws are suited for both residential and light commercial applications where a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread is called for. Common uses include fastening equipment covers, junction box lids, panel assemblies, pipe hangers, and structural brackets where a Phillips pan head profile provides flush, low-profile seating against the workpiece. The inch-system sizing ensures compatibility with standard 1/4-20 tapped holes and nuts across common North American equipment platforms.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 2-1/2 inch length under head for deep-thread engagement in thick material stacks
• Pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive for use with standard screwdrivers and power drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to chip or flake in service
• Pack of 25 supports job-lot stocking without over-ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC inch-system machine screw suitable for use wherever a pan head Phillips fastener of this thread size and length is specified. No washer included.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver with the appropriate bit size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Ensure mating tapped holes or nuts are clean and free of debris before driving. When fastening into aluminum or dissimilar metals, apply anti-seize compound as needed to prevent galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC guidelines where screws are used in electrical enclosure assemblies.
