Value Collection MPPI-1002500-100BX 10-24 X 2.5in Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPI-1002500-100BX is a 10-24 x 2.5-inch pan head machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and light fabrication work. It is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. The pan head profile offers a low-profile, broad bearing surface, and the Phillips drive accommodates standard and power-drive installation. Thread form is Unified National Coarse (UNC), which is the most common inch-series thread standard for 10-24 fasteners. Length measurement is taken under the head. This box contains 100 screws.

These screws are suited for a wide range of trade and light industrial installations including electrical panel assembly, enclosure fabrication, HVAC equipment mounting, and general sheet metal or structural fastening. The 10-24 UNC thread size is widely used in control panel wiring, junction box assembly, and fixture mounting where a standard coarse-thread machine screw is specified. Pan head geometry is commonly chosen when a flush socket or countersink is not required and a wider clamping surface is preferred.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 2.5-inch length under head suits deeper fastening applications
• Pan head profile provides wide bearing surface without countersinking
• Phillips drive compatible with standard and powered screwdrivers
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose fastening requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 10-24 UNC machine screw suitable for use wherever a pan head Phillips fastener of this thread size and length is specified. No specific equipment compatibility data was provided by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a Phillips-tip screwdriver or bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 10-24 UNC thread specification before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not over-torque Grade 2 fasteners, as the material grade has lower tensile strength than Grade 5 or Grade 8. Follow applicable codes such as NEC or equipment manufacturer specifications when using machine screws in electrical enclosures or panel assemblies.
