Value Collection R1/4-20X1 Pan Head Machine Screw 5pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R1/4-20X1 is a pan head self sealing machine screw designed for fastening applications that require a reliable seal against moisture and fluid intrusion. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this screw features a 1/4-20 thread size and a 1-inch length under the head. A silicone O-ring seated beneath the head creates the self sealing action, preventing leakage around the fastener in plumbing, HVAC enclosures, pool equipment panels, and similar assemblies. The No. 3 Phillips drive allows for standard installation with common hand or power tools. This screw is sold in a pack of 5.

This fastener is suited for light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies where environmental exposure or fluid contact is a concern. Typical applications include electrical enclosure covers, equipment panels, and access doors on HVAC units or pool equipment where maintaining a weather-resistant or water-resistant connection is required. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pool service professionals commonly use self sealing screws when securing panels or covers on equipment exposed to moisture.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for assemblies requiring 1/4-20 self sealing machine screws with a pan head configuration and silicone O-ring seal.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require specialized tools beyond a No. 3 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit. Ensure the mating surface is clean and flat to allow the silicone O-ring to seat properly and form an effective seal. Do not overtighten, as excessive torque can deform or damage the O-ring and compromise the seal. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured with these fasteners.
