Value Collection MS24693-C292 Flat Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C292 is a 1/4-28 unified fine thread flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured to MS24693 military fastener standards. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish, this screw delivers reliable corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The flat head profile sits flush when installed in a countersunk hole, making it suitable for assemblies where a smooth surface finish is required. At 3/8 inches overall length, it is sized for light-duty mechanical fastening applications across trade, industrial, and MRO uses. Installation requires a standard Phillips driver.

This screw is suited for use in electrical enclosures, panel assemblies, HVAC equipment housings, plumbing fixture brackets, and general mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and a flush mounting profile are priorities. The 1/4-28 fine thread provides stronger thread engagement per unit length compared to coarse thread equivalents, making it a common choice for tapped metal applications. It ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and MRO replacement machine screw for applications requiring a 1/4-28 fine thread, flat head, Phillips drive fastener in stainless steel. Verify thread pitch, head dimensions, and countersink angle against the mating assembly before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified tradespeople or mechanical technicians using a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to prevent cam-out and fastener damage. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastening work inside live panels or enclosures per applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer requirements. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into tapped stainless threads, as galling can occur; apply appropriate anti-seize compound if required by the assembly specification. Confirm countersink angle compatibility before final installation.
