Value Collection MS24693-S49 Flat Head Machine Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS24693-S49 is a flat head Phillips machine screw built to MS24693 fastener standards. It features an 8-32 unified coarse thread and a 7/16 inch overall length. The screw is manufactured from Grade 3 steel with a yellow cadmium finish that provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. This screw is a standard hardware item installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals wherever a countersunk flat head fastener is required in metal assemblies, panels, and enclosures.

This fastener is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical panels, junction boxes, equipment housings, and sheet metal applications. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the mating surface, making it appropriate for assemblies where a protruding head would interfere with fit or function. The Phillips drive allows installation with standard screwdrivers or power tools fitted with a Phillips bit. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and general-use replacement fastener for applications requiring an 8-32 flat head Phillips machine screw with a 7/16 inch overall length per the MS24693 fastener standard.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or a power driver fitted with the correct Phillips bit size to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 8-32 threads before installation. Do not overtighten, as this can strip threads in softer base materials. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when installing fasteners in electrical enclosures or panel assemblies.
