Value Collection R52000293 Flat Head Slotted Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000293 is a flat head slotted machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications where a flush or countersunk finish is required. Built to ASME B18.6.3 standards, this screw is manufactured from brass, offering good corrosion resistance and conductivity properties useful in electrical and plumbing assemblies. It features a 10-24 unified coarse thread with an overall length of 0.375 inches and is driven with a standard flat-blade screwdriver. This fastener is suited for use by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical assemblers working with light-gauge panels, terminal boards, and enclosures where a low-profile head is required.

This machine screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial trade applications, including electrical enclosure assembly, control panel fabrication, and general mechanical fastening into pre-tapped holes or with a matching hex nut. The 10-24 coarse thread makes it compatible with standard tapped holes per ASME B18.6.3 specifications. The flat head design seats flush into countersunk holes, making it a practical choice for surface-critical installations in thin metal components and terminal blocks.

Key Features

• Flat head profile seats flush in countersunk surfaces for a clean, low-profile finish
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers — no specialty tooling required
• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for electrical and plumbing environments
• 10-24 unified coarse thread conforms to ASME B18.6.3 fastener standards
• Overall length of 0.375 inches with no washer — compact fit for tight assemblies
• Sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, suitable for production and service stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 flat head slotted machine screw per ASME B18.6.3, compatible with pre-tapped holes or standard hex nuts of the same thread specification in light commercial and residential trade assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk at the correct angle to seat the flat head flush before driving. Brass is a softer material than steel — avoid over-torquing, which can strip threads or damage the drive slot. Always de-energize electrical panels and equipment before installing fasteners in live assemblies, in accordance with applicable NEC requirements.
