Value Collection A997256 Truss Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997256 is a truss head Phillips machine screw designed for secure fastening in applications where a low-profile, wide-bearing head is required. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and light outdoor environments. The 10-32 Unified National Fine (UNF) thread pitch provides precise engagement in tapped metal and plastic components. At 1.5 inches length under head, it suits a range of panel, bracket, and enclosure assembly tasks encountered in HVAC, electrical, and general trade work. Each package contains 100 screws.

This screw is suited for use in light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment cabinets, and general mechanical fastening tasks. The truss head style provides a wider bearing surface than a standard pan head, distributing clamping load over a larger area and reducing pull-through risk in thinner materials. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and hand screwdrivers commonly found on job sites. Installers working in corrosive or high-humidity environments such as mechanical rooms or rooftop equipment will find the 18-8 stainless construction appropriate for extended service life.

Installation Notes

A licensed technician or qualified tradesperson should ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving this screw. Use the correct Phillips bit size to avoid cam-out and thread damage. Power down and de-energize any electrical panel or control enclosure fully before beginning fastener work inside live equipment. Do not overtighten into thin-gauge material; apply hand-snug torque and verify seating visually.
