Value Collection MPOI-1200500-050B 12-24 X 1/2 in Oval Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPOI-1200500-050B is a 12-24 UNC machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. It features an oval head with a Phillips drive, allowing flush-to-slightly-countersunk seating against mating surfaces. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments. The length under head measures 1/2 inches. This fastener is sized for standard #12-24 threaded holes and is suitable for use by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals working with equipment panels, enclosures, and structural assemblies.

This machine screw is used in a wide range of trade and light industrial applications where a countersunk oval-head profile is required. Typical uses include securing access panels, junction box covers, equipment housings, and mounting brackets. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard hand and power tools. The zinc coating provides basic protection against oxidation in dry or mildly humid indoor conditions. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 12-24 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes

• Length under head: 1/2 inches — suitable for thin panel and sheet applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 12-24 UNC threaded fastener with an oval head and Phillips drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand driver or powered screwdriver using a standard Phillips bit. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 12-24 UNC specification before driving. Do not overtorque — Grade 2 steel has lower proof load than higher-grade fasteners. For electrical enclosures, verify compliance with applicable NEC requirements for panel and box hardware before installation.
