Value Collection MSTI-1002500-100BX 10-24 X 2.5in Truss Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSTI-1002500-100BX is a 10-24 machine screw with a truss head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. At 2.5 inches in length measured under the head, this fastener meets ASME B18.6.3 standards for unified inch machine screws. The truss head profile offers a wide, low-profile bearing surface, making it well-suited for applications where a standard pan or round head would stand too tall. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade contractors regularly reach for 10-24 slotted machine screws during panel assembly, equipment mounting, and enclosure fabrication. Sold in a box of 100.

This screw is used across a wide range of light commercial and residential trade applications. Common install scenarios include securing sheet metal enclosures, electrical junction boxes, HVAC equipment panels, and general-purpose metal fabrication where a slotted driver is the specified or available tool. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and sheltered environments. The 10-24 thread size is one of the most common unified coarse-thread pitches in trade work, compatible with a broad range of pre-tapped holes and threaded inserts in standard equipment.

Key Features

• 10-24 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and inserts
• Truss head provides a wide, low-profile bearing surface to distribute clamping load
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASME B18.6.3 dimensional standards
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered use
• Box of 100 fasteners reduces reorder frequency on active job sites

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for any application requiring a 10-24 threaded machine screw with a truss head, slotted drive, and 2.5-inch length under the head.

Installation Notes

Install with a flat-blade screwdriver or slotted bit driver sized to the screw head. Confirm the mating thread is tapped to 10-24 specification before driving to avoid cross-threading or stripping. For electrical enclosure and panel applications, follow NEC requirements for securing covers and hardware. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal or soft materials, as the Grade 2 steel may strip pre-tapped threads if excessive torque is applied without a nut or insert.
