Value Collection A996515 Truss Head Phillips Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A996515 is a 1/4-20 x 3/8 inch truss head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The truss head profile features a wide, low-dome head that distributes clamping load over a larger surface area, making it well suited for applications where a standard pan or hex head would pull through or concentrate stress on softer base materials. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for general indoor and light-duty service conditions. Thread form is Unified National Coarse (UNC), pitch 20 threads per inch, with length measured under the head at 3/8 inch.

These screws are used in light mechanical assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, HVAC cabinet work, equipment panel mounting, and general trade maintenance tasks. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers common on any service van or shop floor. Sold in a pack of 50, this quantity suits both single-job use and bench-stock replenishment for technicians who regularly encounter 1/4-20 fastener applications.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 3/8 inch length under head for shallow-clearance applications
• Truss head distributes load over a wider bearing surface than standard pan head
• Phillips drive works with standard No. 2 bit or screwdriver tip
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose mechanical strength
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in dry to lightly humid environments

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/4-20 UNC machine screw suitable for standard tapped holes and threaded inserts requiring a truss head profile and Phillips drive in light mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a No. 2 Phillips bit or hand driver. Verify that the mating hole or threaded insert is tapped to 1/4-20 UNC before driving. Do not overtorque Grade 2 fasteners in thin sheet metal or plastic substrates, as the material will strip before the screw yields. Follow applicable assembly specifications for the equipment or enclosure being serviced.
