Value Collection MSPI03102000-100B Machine Screw 5/16-18x2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSPI03102000-100B is a 5/16-18 x 2 inch pan head machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly work. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, making it a practical choice in environments where specialty bits are not available. Constructed from steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material grade compliance. Length measurement is taken under the head. This fastener ships in a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This machine screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening in residential and commercial settings. Common applications include mounting panels, securing enclosures, assembling mechanical equipment, and general maintenance tasks. The pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area, making it appropriate for use in softer materials or where flush clearance is not required. Tradespeople in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general mechanical trades will find this a standard utility fastener for everyday service work.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 unified coarse thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• Pan head profile provides broad bearing surface without requiring a countersunk hole
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Zinc-plated steel finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered applications
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Length measured under head at 2 inches for accurate fit verification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 coarse-thread machine screw suitable for use wherever ASME B18.6.3 pan head slotted fasteners of this size are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly tapped or threaded hole sized for 5/16-18 UNC thread. Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and head damage. Ensure the mating thread material is compatible with zinc-plated steel to prevent galvanic corrosion in exposed or wet environments. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when securing electrical panels or mechanical assemblies.
