Value Collection R52000285 6-32 Unc Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000285 is a slotted flat head machine screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, electrical, and HVAC assemblies. Threaded to the 6-32 UNC standard, this screw measures 0.375 inches in overall length and is manufactured from brass, making it a solid choice where corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties are required. The flat head profile seats flush with the mating surface when countersunk, reducing protrusion and providing a clean finish. A standard flat-blade or slotted screwdriver is all that is needed for installation. This screw ships without a washer.

This fastener is suited for light-duty mechanical and electrical panel assembly work, including securing terminal boards, cover plates, and small components in HVAC control panels, junction boxes, and similar enclosures. Brass construction makes it appropriate for environments where steel fasteners may cause galvanic corrosion or where non-sparking hardware is preferred. It is commonly used by electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople performing equipment assembly or field repairs requiring a fine-thread 6-32 fastener.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard 6-32 threaded inserts and nuts
• 0.375 inches overall length suits shallow countersunk fastening applications
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and non-magnetic properties
• Flat head design sits flush with the surface when installed in a countersunk hole
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• No washer included — flat head seats directly against the mating material

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC slotted flat head machine screw suitable for general mechanical and electrical fastening applications requiring a brass, fine-thread fastener in this size class.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical tradespeople using a standard flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slot width. Always de-energize electrical panels and equipment before performing any fastener work inside enclosures, following applicable NEC or local electrical code requirements. Brass is a softer metal than steel — avoid over-torquing, which can strip the thread or deform the head. Ensure the mating hole is properly tapped or threaded to 6-32 UNC before driving the screw.
