Value Collection MS24693-C95 Machine Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C95 is a flat head Phillips drive machine screw built to MS24693 military and aerospace fastener standards. It features a 1/4-20 unified coarse thread and a 5/8 inch overall length, making it a compact, load-bearing fastener suited for metal-to-metal and panel assembly applications. The screw is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish to resist corrosion and maintain dimensional integrity under harsh service conditions. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals use this fastener where a flush-seating countersunk head is required.

This screw is appropriate for structural and non-structural fastening in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general industrial assemblies. The flat head profile sits flush or below the mating surface when installed in a properly countersunk hole, eliminating protrusions that could interfere with mating components or covers. It is commonly used in both light commercial and residential applications where corrosion resistance and a clean finished appearance are required.

Key Features

• 5/8 inch overall length with full 5/8 inch length under head
• Flat countersunk head seats flush with or below the mating surface
• Phillips drive accepts standard No. 2 Phillips bit or screwdriver
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments
• Passivated finish enhances surface oxide layer for added corrosion protection
• Conforms to MS24693 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-purpose fastener for assemblies requiring a 1/4-20 flat head Phillips machine screw per the MS24693 fastener standard.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician using a No. 2 Phillips bit or hand driver. The receiving hole must be properly countersunk to the correct included angle to allow the flat head to seat flush. De-energize all electrical panels and shut off relevant systems before accessing enclosures or equipment. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling when threaded into stainless or aluminum components.
