Value Collection MS24693-C298 Flat Head Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C298 is a flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured to the MS24693 fastener standard. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish, this screw resists corrosion in demanding service environments. It features a 1/4-28 unified fine thread and measures 1 inch in overall length. The countersunk flat head sits flush with the mating surface when properly installed, making it well suited for assemblies where a clean, low-profile finish is required. Mechanics, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on aerospace, industrial, or precision mechanical assemblies rely on this grade for reliable, repeatable fastening performance.

This screw is appropriate for use in applications requiring MS24693-series compliance, including aerospace ground support equipment, military hardware, and general precision assemblies governed by fine-thread specifications. The 1/4-28 fine thread provides higher thread engagement and improved resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents. It is suited for both original equipment builds and field replacement work where the MS24693 fastener standard is called out in engineering documentation.

Key Features

• MS24693 fastener standard compliance for aerospace and precision mechanical applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Passivated finish removes free iron from the surface, improving long-term corrosion performance
• 1/4-28 unified fine thread for high thread engagement and vibration resistance
• Flat countersunk head allows flush installation in mating surfaces
• Phillips drive for compatibility with standard hand and power tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specification replacement or direct-use fastener for assemblies calling out the MS24693 machine screw standard in 1/4-28 fine thread, 1-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with torque requirements specified in the applicable engineering documentation for the assembly. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Use a correctly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not mix thread classes or substitute coarse-thread fasteners where fine-thread engagement is specified.
