Value Collection MPPFI-1003000-100BX 10-32x3in Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPFI-1003000-100BX is a 10-32 x 3 inch pan head Phillips machine screw supplied in a box of 100. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this fastener is built for general-purpose mechanical assemblies where a corrosion-resistant, unified fine thread (UNF) screw is required. The pan head profile sits low and distributes clamping load across a broad bearing surface, while the Phillips drive allows fast installation with standard hand or power tools. Length is measured under the head, providing a full 3 inches of thread engagement. This screw is sized to the 10-32 UNF thread standard, which is common in light machinery, electrical enclosures, and HVAC panel work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a fine-thread steel fastener is needed for sheet metal, panel, or component attachment. Typical installations include securing junction box covers, mounting HVAC control boards, attaching panels inside air handlers, and general equipment assembly where 10-32 UNF threads are specified. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance appropriate for indoor and sheltered environments. Sold in a minimum order of 100 pieces per box, making this pack practical for service vehicles, shop stock, and project quantities.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF pan head Phillips machine screw for use in any application requiring this thread size and head type, including electrical panels, enclosures, HVAC equipment, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips bit driver sized to the fastener. Always de-energize electrical equipment and follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer lockout procedures before fastening or removing hardware in live panels or control enclosures. Do not overtighten into tapped plastic or light-gauge sheet metal to avoid stripping threads. Inspect the zinc plating before use in any environment with prolonged moisture exposure, as Grade 2 zinc-plated steel is not rated for outdoor or high-humidity service.
