Value Collection MPFFI-1000370-100BX Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPFFI-1000370-100BX is a 10-32 x 3/8-inch flat head Phillips machine screw supplied in a box of 100. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw is designed for general fastening applications where a flush, countersunk surface is required. The unified fine thread (UNF) designation means it engages pre-tapped holes precisely, producing a secure, vibration-resistant connection. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors reach for this screw type when panel assembly, bracket mounting, or equipment enclosure work calls for a standard countersunk fastener with positive Phillips drive engagement.

This screw is suited for light-duty to medium-duty assembly tasks across residential and commercial trade work. Typical applications include mounting electrical panels and junction box covers, securing HVAC cabinet components, fastening equipment brackets, and general sheet-metal or thin-stock assembly. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor or protected environments. The overall length of 3/8 inches is measured from the top of the head to the tip, making this screw a short, precise fastener for shallow clearance situations.

Installation Notes

Install with a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver or appropriately sized bit driver. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening or removing screws in or near live panels or enclosures, following NFPA 70E safe work practices. Use a torque-limiting driver setting appropriate for Grade 2 steel in shallow-tapped holes to avoid stripping threads. Confirm the mating material is tapped to 10-32 UNF before installation.
