Value Collection R50000171 Machine Screw 10-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000171 is a 10-32 UNF machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metal assemblies, equipment enclosures, and electrical panels. The flat head profile sits flush with or below the surface of the mating material, making it suitable for applications where a smooth, low-profile finish is required. The Phillips drive accepts standard Phillips bits and screwdrivers. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers adequate corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty environments. Overall length measures 1.5 inches, with the length under the head also measuring 1.5 inches, consistent with flat-head geometry.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, junction boxes, control board mounting, and general sheet-metal or machined-component assembly. The 10-32 thread size is a fine-thread designation that provides strong thread engagement in thin materials and tapped metal components. These screws are appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general maintenance personnel working on trade equipment and light industrial assemblies.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for secure engagement in tapped metal and thin-gauge materials
• Flat head design allows flush or countersunk installation
• Phillips drive compatible with standard Phillips bit sizes
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-duty fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor use
• Overall length of 1.5 inches with consistent length under head

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF flat-head machine screw for use in any application requiring this thread size and head style, including equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light-duty metal assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips bit driver of the appropriate size. For countersunk applications, ensure the receiving material is properly countersunk to match the flat-head angle before driving the screw. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before accessing internal panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten into tapped or threaded inserts, as Grade 2 steel has lower tensile strength than higher-grade fasteners.
