Value Collection MS24693-C97 Machine Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-C97 is a 1/4-20 flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured to MS24693 fastener standards. The screw measures 7/8 inches in overall length and is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a passivated finish for corrosion resistance. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when fully driven, making it well suited for assemblies where a low-profile fastener face is required. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance personnel use this screw in applications demanding dimensional consistency and material traceability to a military specification standard.

This screw is used in light-to-medium mechanical assemblies across HVAC, electrical enclosure, plumbing fixture, and general industrial maintenance applications. The 1/4-20 unified coarse thread engages standard tapped holes and threaded inserts without washers. The passivated 18-8 stainless steel construction holds up in environments with moderate moisture exposure or chemical contact, making it a common choice for outdoor enclosures, pump housings, and panel installations.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 7/8 inch overall length provides adequate thread engagement in typical panel and enclosure stock
• Flat head Phillips drive seats flush with the workpiece surface for clean, low-profile installations
• 18-8 stainless steel construction with passivated finish for corrosion resistance in damp or chemically active environments
• Conforms to MS24693 fastener standard for dimensional and material consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for any application requiring a 1/4-20 flat head Phillips machine screw with a 7/8 inch overall length and no washer, conforming to the MS24693 fastener standard.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician using a properly sized Phillips screwdriver or bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener work on electrical enclosures or control panels. Thread the screw by hand first to confirm engagement before applying torque. Avoid over-driving into thin sheet stock, as the flat head countersink must be matched to the receiving material for a flush seating result.
