Value Collection MSTI-1000500-100BX Machine Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI-1000500-100BX is a 10-24 x 1/2 inch truss head machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this screw offers basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. The truss head profile features a low-profile, wide-diameter head that distributes clamping load across a broader surface area than a standard pan or round head. Thread form is Unified National Coarse (UNC). Sold in a box of 100 pieces.

These machine screws are suited for light structural assembly, sheet metal work, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and general equipment fastening where a 10-24 thread is specified. The truss head style is commonly used when fastening into thin materials or where a flush or slightly raised head profile is required. Typical applications include securing electrical junction box covers, control panel assemblies, and equipment access doors in residential and commercial trade work.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts in that size
• Truss head distributes load over a wider bearing surface than pan or round head styles
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose mechanical strength
• Zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for dry and light-duty environments
• Box quantity of 100 pieces per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC machine screw suitable for use with any pre-tapped hole, threaded insert, or hex nut conforming to 10-24 Unified National Coarse thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to fit the slotted head. Do not overtighten Grade 2 fasteners — exceeding the rated torque range can strip threads in soft materials or fracture the screw shank. When fastening into electrical enclosures or equipment panels, ensure power is de-energized before beginning work in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout procedures. Thread engagement of at least 1.5 times the screw diameter is recommended for reliable clamping load.
