Value Collection MS24693-C276 Machine Screw 10-32x1 Flat

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C276 is a 10-32 x 1 inch overall length flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish. Conforming to the MS24693 fastener standard, this screw is designed for precision fastening applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency are required. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface when countersunk correctly. The passivated finish enhances the natural corrosion resistance of the 18-8 stainless steel base material. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, field service pros, and assembly workers across HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical trades.

This machine screw is suited for light structural and panel fastening in both residential and commercial applications. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a Unified Fine thread form with 32 threads per inch on a No. 10 diameter shank. The 1 inch overall length accommodates standard panel thicknesses and bracket assemblies common in equipment enclosures, control panels, and mechanical components. The MS24693 fastener standard makes this screw appropriate for applications requiring military and aerospace specification compliance, as well as high-reliability commercial equipment assembly.

Key Features

• 10-32 Unified Fine thread for precise mating and secure hold in tapped holes
• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor-exposed environments
• Passivated finish removes free iron from the surface, extending service life
• Conforms to MS24693 fastener standard for controlled dimensional tolerances
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard and power-assisted installation tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for applications requiring a 10-32 x 1 inch flat head Phillips machine screw conforming to the MS24693 standard.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips head screwdriver or a Phillips bit in a power driver set to an appropriate torque clutch setting to avoid stripping the drive recess. Ensure the mating material is tapped to 10-32 specifications or that a matching nut is used. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound to the threads when torquing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to prevent seizing.
