Value Collection MHWI0-600310SL-100B 6-32 Hex Washer Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MHWI0-600310SL-100B is a 6-32 machine screw with a hex washer head and slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc finish. It measures 5/16 inches in overall length, with the length measured from under the head to the tip. Built to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this fastener is suited for general-purpose mechanical assembly where a low-profile hex washer head and corrosion-resistant zinc coating are required. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and sheet metal workers commonly use 6-32 machine screws when securing panels, junction boxes, control boards, and light-duty equipment enclosures.

This screw is a standard inch-system fastener in the 6-32 UNC thread series. It is appropriate for light-duty metal-to-metal fastening in residential and commercial applications, including electrical panel work, control enclosures, equipment covers, and appliance assembly. The slotted drive is compatible with both flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted bit drivers, making it accessible in field service situations. This SKU is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it suitable for stocking a service van or shop supply inventory.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver, or a hex nut driver sized to the washer head. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening or removing screws on panels, control boards, or enclosures, in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout procedures. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic or soft-metal inserts, as the steel fastener can strip the receiving thread. Verify thread engagement depth before applying torque in thin-material applications.
