Value Collection MSC-87924577 Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-87924577 is a 10-32 x 1/2 inch round head slotted machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 10-32 designation indicates a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form, providing strong thread engagement in thin or hard materials. At 1/2 inch length measured under the head, this fastener suits close-tolerance assemblies where a compact screw profile is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction offers reliable corrosion resistance suitable for general-purpose indoor and light outdoor applications. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals working on equipment panels, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies commonly specify this fastener type.

This machine screw is suited for use in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture assemblies, and general mechanical hardware applications where a UNF thread and corrosion-resistant fastener are required. The round head profile provides a low, domed bearing surface appropriate for installations where a flush or countersunk head is not needed. The slotted drive is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and is commonly found in legacy equipment and panel assemblies across residential and light commercial service work.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread form for precise thread engagement in fine-pitch applications
• 1/2 inch length under head for compact panel and enclosure installations
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in general-purpose environments
• Round head profile with slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to interfere with electrical grounding contact
• Sold without washer for direct installation into tapped holes or threaded inserts

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNF machine screw for use in any application requiring a 10-32 thread, round head, slotted drive fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Always ensure the mating hole is tapped to a 10-32 UNF specification before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before servicing panels or enclosures that require fastener removal or replacement. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes, as galling can occur — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if the mating material is also stainless steel.
