Value Collection C38202 1/4-20 X 2.5 in Flat Head Screw 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C38202 is a 1/4-20 x 2.5-inch flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It features a unified national coarse (UNC) thread form and is supplied without a washer. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when driven into a countersunk hole. This package contains 25 screws. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and general tradespeople use this fastener wherever a corrosion-resistant, flush-mount fastening solution is required in light-to-medium-duty assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Common uses include equipment panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC access covers, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical assemblies. The Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips screwdrivers or power driver bits sized for a 1/4-20 fastener. The overall length and length under head are both 2.5 inches, indicating a flat head with no additional shank length above the bearing surface.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/4-20 UNC machine screw compatible with any standard 1/4-20 tapped hole, nut, or threaded insert in inch-measurement assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a correctly sized countersunk hole for proper flat head seating. Use a Phillips driver bit matched to the screw head size to avoid cam-out and head damage. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening in or near live panels. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound when installing stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling.
