Value Collection MSC-67572081 Machine Screw 10-32 X 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67572081 is a 10-32 x 3/8 inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a Number 10 diameter with 32 threads per inch (UNF), and the 3/8 inch measurement reflects the length under the head. This fastener is used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and control box applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, electricians, HVAC service professionals, and general tradespeople working on equipment requiring a standardized, reusable threaded fastener.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel hardware is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The pan head profile distributes clamping load across a wider surface area than a flat or oval head, making it appropriate for thin sheet metal, plastic panels, and enclosure covers. The Phillips drive is compatible with standard power drivers and manual screwdrivers. This item is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for compatibility with standard Number 10 threaded inserts and nuts
• 3/8 inch length under head suits thin panel and enclosure fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Pan head profile offers broad bearing surface for sheet metal and plastic substrates
• Phillips drive works with standard manual and power screwdrivers
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating that can chip or degrade over time

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNF machine screw compatible with any 10-32 threaded hole, insert, or nut in inch-measurement fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or power driver set to an appropriate torque to avoid stripping the pan head recess or damaging the mating threads. Ensure the receiving hole or insert is tapped to 10-32 UNF before installation. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening panels or enclosures per applicable NEC guidelines. Stainless steel fasteners can be prone to galling — apply anti-seize compound if the screw will be removed and reinstalled repeatedly.
