Value Collection MS24693-C271 Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C271 is a 10-32 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured to the MS24693 military fastener standard. Built from grade 18-8 stainless steel, it delivers solid corrosion resistance and strength for precision assembly work. The screw measures 7/16 inches in overall length and seats flush when installed in a countersunk hole, making it well suited for applications where a smooth surface finish is required. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors reach for this fastener type when securing panels, brackets, and equipment enclosures across trade and light industrial settings.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where a 10-32 unified fine thread pattern is specified and flush-mount installation is required. It installs without a washer and is sized for standard countersunk holes. Typical use cases include securing electrical panels, HVAC cabinet components, plumbing equipment enclosures, and other metal-to-metal assemblies requiring a fine-thread stainless fastener. Sold individually as a single unit with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any qualified tradesperson or mechanical technician using a standard Phillips screwdriver or power driver with the appropriate bit. Ensure the receiving hole is properly countersunk to match the flat head angle before driving the screw. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur — apply a suitable anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless or aluminum threads. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing fastened enclosures or panels.
