Value Collection MPRFI-1000500-100BX 10-32 Round Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPRFI-1000500-100BX is a 10-32 x 1/2 inch round head Phillips machine screw supplied in a box of 100. Built from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it provides reliable corrosion resistance for general-duty fastening applications. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form with a 10 major diameter and 32 threads per inch. Length is measured under the head at 1/2 inch. These screws are a staple fastener for HVAC panel assembly, electrical enclosures, plumbing access covers, and light mechanical equipment where a zinc-coated steel fastener meets the requirement.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial trade work where UNF thread fasteners are specified. Common installation scenarios include securing sheet metal panels on air handlers, attaching electrical box covers, and general equipment assembly. The round head profile sits above the mating surface, making it easy to drive with a standard Phillips bit. The zinc coating provides a degree of protection against oxidation in indoor and sheltered environments. Each box contains 100 screws to support bulk installation tasks on the job.

Installation Notes

A licensed electrician, HVAC technician, or mechanical contractor typically installs fasteners of this type during equipment assembly or panel service. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off mechanical systems before removing or replacing panel screws. Use a Phillips screwdriver or bit sized for a number 2 Phillips drive to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal, as Grade 2 steel threads can strip tapped holes if excessive torque is applied.
