Value Collection C38193 Machine Screw 10-24 X 2.5 in Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C38193 is a 10-24 x 2.5 inch flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when countersunk, making it well suited for assemblies where a low-profile finish is required. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard Phillips screwdrivers and bit sets. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in mildly wet or humid environments. This screw ships uncoated, preserving the natural stainless finish. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical assemblies. The 10-24 thread size and 2.5 inch overall length are common in equipment that uses countersunk fastener locations on sheet metal, plastic panels, or light structural members. Tradespeople in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical fields regularly stock this size for field repairs and panel reassembly.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a Phillips screwdriver or bit driver sized for a number 2 Phillips tip. For flush seating, the receiving material must be properly countersunk to match the flat head angle before driving. Do not overtighten in plastic or thin sheet metal panels, as stainless fasteners can gall or strip the threads in softer materials. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes when fastening enclosures or equipment panels.
