Value Collection R50000170 Machine Screw 10-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000170 is a 10-32 x 1-1/4 inch flat head Phillips machine screw built for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies, panels, and equipment enclosures. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw provides reliable corrosion resistance in standard indoor environments. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when driven into a countersunk hole, making it a common choice in electrical panels, HVAC equipment housings, and light industrial assemblies. Installation requires a standard Phillips driver. This screw follows the Unified National Fine (UNF) thread standard at 10-32, providing tighter thread engagement compared to coarse-thread equivalents.

This fastener is suited for light-duty metal-to-metal and metal-to-plastic joining in residential and commercial trade applications. Typical uses include securing electrical enclosure covers, control board mounting brackets, HVAC equipment panels, and junction box hardware. The 1-1/4 inch overall length accommodates moderate material stack-ups without protruding excessively. Sold in multiples of 100 per minimum order, this screw is appropriate for technicians and contractors who maintain a working hardware inventory on the job or in the shop.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 10-32 UNF flat head Phillips machine screw suitable for metal panels, equipment housings, and control board mounting applications where a flush-seating fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or trades professional familiar with proper fastener torque practices for the mating material. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before replacing or installing fasteners in panels or enclosures. Use the correct Phillips driver bit size to avoid cam-out and fastener damage. For metal applications, ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 10-32 UNF or use a matching threaded insert.
