Value Collection MSFI0-600310-100BX 6-32 X 5/16 in Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSFI0-600310-100BX is a 6-32 UNC machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in light to medium-duty applications. It features a flat head profile with a slotted drive, allowing installation with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and controlled-environment use. Each screw measures 5/16 inches in overall length with a 5/16-inch length under the head, indicating a fully threaded shank. This box contains 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production, maintenance, or service inventory.

This 6-32 x 5/16-inch flat head machine screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flush or countersunk fastener is required. Common install scenarios include panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, electronic equipment mounting, and general sheet metal or plastic fastening where a slotted drive is preferred. The flat head seats flush into countersunk holes, keeping the fastened surface smooth and unobstructed. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals routinely stock this size for panel and equipment work.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot to avoid cam-out and head damage. Countersink the mating material to the appropriate angle before driving to ensure the flat head seats fully flush. Do not overtighten in soft materials such as plastic or thin sheet metal, as the threads can strip or the material can crack. No special tools or certifications are required, but fastener torque should follow the equipment manufacturer's recommendations when specified.
