Value Collection C38154 Machine Screw 10-32 2.5in Ss 18-8 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C38154 is a 10-32 x 2.5-inch pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This screw uses Unified National Fine (UNF) thread standards and is sized with the length measured from under the head. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and light outdoor applications. Each package contains 25 screws, making this a practical choice for technicians who need a reliable, standardized fastener on the job site or in the shop.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assembly, panel attachment, and equipment enclosure work common in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade applications. The pan head profile seats flush against flat surfaces and works with standard Phillips screwdrivers or bits. The 10-32 UNF thread is a widely used size in control panels, junction boxes, and equipment housings where a fine-thread fastener is specified.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for fine-thread engagement in metal panels and housings
• 2.5-inch length measured from under the head for accurate fitment planning
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power bits
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in light-duty environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional treatment or plating

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF pan head Phillips machine screw suitable for general mechanical assembly and equipment enclosure applications where an 18-8 stainless steel fastener without washer is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver with a properly sized Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Verify that the receiving thread in the mating part is 10-32 UNF before installation. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing internal panels or enclosures. Avoid overtightening in softer base materials, as the fine thread can strip with excessive torque.
