Value Collection R50000162 Machine Screw 10-32 Unf 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000162 is a slotted round head machine screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. Threaded to the 10-32 UNF specification with a 3/8-inch length under the head, this screw is manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance. The round head profile and single-slot drive make it compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers. It is supplied without a washer. This fastener is suited for use in light-to-medium duty assemblies across HVAC, electrical, and general trade applications where a uniform, machine-threaded fastener is required.

This screw is typically used in equipment panels, control boxes, mounting brackets, and similar sheet metal or tapped-hole assemblies found in residential and light commercial trade work. The 10-32 UNF thread is a common fine-thread pitch used in electrical enclosures, fan assemblies, and instrumentation mounting. Installation is straightforward in any pre-tapped or through-hole application where a round head profile and slotted drive are specified.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for secure engagement in tapped metal applications
• 3/8-inch length under head suits shallow panel and bracket fastening
• Alloy steel construction provides strength for mechanical fastening duty
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion protection in dry or indoor environments
• Round head with slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Supplied without washer for direct head-to-surface clamping

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF round head machine screw suitable for use in any pre-tapped or clearance-hole assembly requiring this thread size and head style.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 10-32 UNF or properly sized for clearance before driving. Do not overtighten, as alloy steel fine-thread screws in soft metal tapped holes can strip threads if torque is excessive. Power down any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing fastener locations inside live panels or enclosures.
