Value Collection MS24693-C270 Machine Screw 10-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C270 is a 10-32 threaded flat head machine screw with a Phillips drive, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. It has a 3/8-inch overall length and conforms to the MS24693 military fastener standard. The passivated finish enhances corrosion resistance by removing free iron from the surface, making the screw suitable for environments where oxidation is a concern. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors regularly specify this fastener for equipment panels, brackets, and control assemblies where a flush, countersunk installation is required.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial trade applications wherever a 10-32 machine thread and flush-mount flat head profile are specified. Typical use cases include securing electrical enclosure panels, HVAC control board mounting brackets, equipment access covers, and sheet metal assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a common choice in moist or corrosive service environments such as rooftop units, pool equipment enclosures, and outdoor electrical panels. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.
