Value Collection C38155 Pan Head Phillips Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C38155 is a 10-32 x 3-inch pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This screw uses a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form and is measured under the head at 3 inches. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and light industrial equipment. It ships in a package quantity of 25, making it suitable for small production runs or service kits. Installation does not require a washer. Tradespeople working in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light fabrication will recognize this as a standard hardware item for panel and bracket fastening.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant, fine-thread fastener is needed. It is well suited for securing sheet metal panels, equipment enclosures, and control board brackets. The pan head profile keeps a low, wide footprint that distributes clamping load across the fastened surface. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power and hand screwdrivers commonly found on any service truck. This item is sold in a pack of 25, allowing technicians to stock multiples for repeated use across service calls or installations.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for reliable engagement in tapped holes and threaded inserts
• 3-inch length under head suits deeper panel stacks and bracketed assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Pan head profile distributes load and sits flush to slightly raised on the fastened surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard hand and power screwdrivers
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip or contaminate the joint

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF pan head machine screw for use in any application requiring an inch-system fine-thread fastener in that size. Suitable for use with pre-tapped holes or standard 10-32 nuts and threaded inserts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a Phillips-tip screwdriver or power driver set to appropriate torque for the application. Ensure the receiving hole is tapped to 10-32 UNF or fitted with a compatible threaded insert before driving the screw. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten stainless steel screws into stainless threaded holes, as galling can occur — apply anti-seize compound if required by the application.
