Value Collection MPPI02501000-100BX Machine Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPI02501000-100BX is a 1/4-20 x 1-inch pan head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The pan head profile sits flat against mating surfaces without a washer, making it a clean, low-profile fastener for general-purpose assembly work. The unified national coarse (UNC) thread form engages quickly and holds reliably in standard tapped holes and hex nuts. This box contains 100 screws. Installers across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and light fabrication trades keep this size on hand for panel assembly, equipment mounting, and bracket work.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications wherever a 1/4-20 UNC threaded fastener is required. Common uses include securing electrical enclosure panels, mounting brackets, HVAC equipment covers, and general sheet-metal or structural assemblies. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. Length is measured under the head, so the full 1-inch shank engages the workpiece. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits and impact drivers commonly carried by trade technicians.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for fast engagement in standard tapped holes
• 1-inch length measured under head for predictable thread engagement depth
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without a washer
• Phillips drive accepts standard No. 2 bits and impact drivers
• Grade 2 steel construction balances strength and machinability for general-purpose use
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC x 1-inch pan head Phillips machine screw in Grade 2 steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 1/4-20 UNC or that a compatible nut is used. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or covers. Do not overtighten in soft materials or thin sheet metal, as Grade 2 steel can be sheared if torque is excessive without proper thread engagement depth.
