Value Collection R52000286 6-32 X 1/2 in Flat Head Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000286 is a 6-32 x 1/2-inch flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from brass. It features a fully threaded shank with an overall length of 1/2 inch, a flat countersunk head, and a single slotted drive. Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and conductivity properties suited to electrical, HVAC control panel, and plumbing fixture assembly work. This screw conforms to ASME B18.6.3, the standard governing slotted flat head machine screws in inch dimensions. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it practical for service van stock or production use.

This fastener is used in light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly applications where a flush-mount, countersunk head is required. Common installations include control board mounting, panel assembly, terminal block attachment, and fixture work in residential and light commercial settings. The 6-32 thread size is one of the most common coarse-thread machine screw sizes in trade work, found in enclosures, junction boxes, and equipment panels across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades.

Key Features

• 6-32 coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in electrical and HVAC enclosures
• Flat countersunk head seats flush with the mating surface for clean panel installations
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Brass material resists corrosion and is non-magnetic
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 for dimensional consistency
• Sold in multiples of 100 for practical stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 x 1/2-inch flat head machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3-compliant inch-series slotted fastener in a tapped or clearance hole sized for a 6-32 thread.

Installation Notes

Power down or de-energize any enclosure or panel before installing or removing fasteners near live components, per NEC guidelines. Use a correctly sized flat-blade screwdriver that fully seats in the slot to avoid cam-out and head damage. Do not overtighten brass fasteners into tapped holes, as brass is softer than steel and threads can strip at lower torque levels. Counter-bore or countersink the mating material to the correct angle to achieve a proper flush seating of the flat head.
