Value Collection C52001576 Machine Screw 2-56 1/4 in Flat

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C52001576 is a 2-56 x 1/4-inch flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It uses unified national coarse (UNC) thread and is sized for small-gauge fastening applications common in electrical enclosures, control panels, instrumentation, and light mechanical assemblies. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when driven into a countersunk hole. This screw ships without a washer and is measured by overall length. It is handled by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers who need a corrosion-resistant, flush-mount fastener in tight-clearance locations.

This screw is suited for indoor and outdoor applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction performs well in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or humidity. Typical installation scenarios include securing terminal blocks, control board housings, instrument panels, and sheet-metal enclosures. The 2-56 thread size is among the finer gauges used in precision electrical and HVAC control assemblies. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order; package quantity is 1 unit per package.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 2-56 UNC thread for compatibility with small-gauge tapped holes common in control and panel work
• Flat head profile sits flush when installed in a properly countersunk surface
• Phillips drive for use with standard cross-tip screwdrivers and power drivers
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake or degrade over time
• No washer included; washer style is without washer

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC flat head machine screw for use in any application requiring a flush-seating, corrosion-resistant fastener in a 2-56 tapped hole.

Installation Notes

Electricians and mechanical technicians should de-energize any enclosure or panel before driving fasteners near live terminals. Use a correctly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and thread damage on small-gauge stainless hardware. For flush installation, the receiving hole must be properly countersunk to match the flat head angle. Apply appropriate torque carefully — 18-8 stainless is susceptible to galling if driven too aggressively without lubrication.
