Value Collection MPA98160 10-24x1 Flat Head Machine Screw 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPA98160 is a 10-24 x 1-inch flat head machine screw designed for general fastening applications in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. Machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and light outdoor environments. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when countersunk correctly, producing a clean, snag-free result. The Pin In Torx drive requires a matching security bit, reducing the risk of cam-out and providing tamper-resistant installation. Sold in a package of 10, this SKU suits low-quantity service and repair tasks as well as prototyping work.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and structural fastening tasks where a flush surface finish is required. The 10-24 UNC thread pitch is a common standard in HVAC equipment access panels, electrical junction boxes, and general sheet metal work. Technicians in HVAC, electrical, and light mechanical trades will encounter this thread size and head type regularly. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for environments with mild moisture exposure where carbon steel fasteners would corrode.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1-inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening in panels and assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without additional coating
• Flat head profile countersinks flush, eliminating surface protrusions
• Pin In Torx drive resists cam-out and adds tamper resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to chip, peel, or interfere with ground continuity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for applications using 10-24 UNC flat head machine screws in standard countersunk holes.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a Pin In Torx security bit in the correct size — standard Phillips or flathead drivers are not compatible with this drive type. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped or threaded to 10-24 UNC before driving the screw. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines before replacing fasteners on live panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten into plastic or soft material substrates, as stainless steel fasteners do not yield predictably and can crack the mating material.
