Value Collection MSPI-1003000-100B 10-24x3 Pan Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPI-1003000-100B is a 10-24 x 3 inch pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. Conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this fastener delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical assembly. The zinc coating provides a baseline barrier against oxidation in indoor and light-duty applications. Length is measured under the head at 3 inches, and the fastener is supplied without a washer. This screw is a staple in panel assembly, electrical enclosures, HVAC cabinet work, and light structural fastening where a low-profile pan head and slotted drive are required.

This machine screw is used across residential and commercial maintenance, light manufacturing, and trade service work. Common applications include securing sheet metal panels on HVAC air handlers, attaching junction box covers in electrical work, and general equipment assembly where a 10-24 thread is specified. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, making it well suited for shop stock, service van inventory, or batch assembly work. No special tooling is required beyond a standard flat-blade screwdriver or bit.

Key Features

• 10-24 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• Pan head profile provides a low, wide bearing surface without sharp edges
• Slotted drive accommodates flat-blade screwdrivers and common power bit sets
• Zinc-plated steel finish offers corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Supplied without washer for direct installation into tapped holes or with a separate nut

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3 compliant pan head slotted fastener in inch measurement. Fits standard 10-24 tapped holes and pairs with 10-24 hex or machine screw nuts.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit sized appropriately for a number 10 screw head to avoid cam-out and head damage. Confirm the mating thread is 10-24 and that the hole depth or nut engagement allows for adequate thread engagement along the full 3 inch shank. For electrical enclosure and panel work, follow applicable NEC requirements for fastener use in listed assemblies. Do not over-torque; steel fasteners in light sheet metal applications are susceptible to thread stripping if driven beyond hand-tight plus a firm quarter-turn.
