Value Collection MPPI03102000-100BX Machine Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPPI03102000-100BX is a 5/16-18 x 2 inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish. It features a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form and is measured length-under-head, making the full 2 inches of shank available for engagement. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance suitable for general indoor and light-duty applications. These screws are sold in a box of 100 and are a standard fastener choice for assembly, fabrication, and equipment maintenance work across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades.

This screw is appropriate for a wide range of general-purpose fastening tasks in both residential and light commercial settings. Typical applications include panel assembly, equipment mounting, enclosure fabrication, and fixture attachment where a 5/16-18 coarse thread and a low-profile pan head are required. The Phillips drive type is compatible with standard and power drivers commonly found in any trade shop or service van. No washer is included or integrated into this fastener.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 2-inch length measured under head for consistent engagement depth
• Pan head profile keeps a low, rounded stance suitable for flush or near-flush installations
• Phillips drive works with standard bit drivers and right-angle power tools
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose strength requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC pan head Phillips machine screw for general-purpose fastening applications across trade and industrial assembly.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips bit driver or appropriately sized power driver set to a controlled torque to avoid cam-out or thread stripping in the mating material. Ensure the mating thread is tapped or the nut is rated for 5/16-18 UNC engagement before driving. For electrical enclosures or panel work, verify fastener material compatibility with applicable NEC requirements. Zinc-plated fasteners are not recommended for outdoor or high-moisture environments where stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware would be more appropriate.
