Value Collection R52000849 Machine Screw 6-32 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000849 is a 6-32 x 1/2 inch slotted hex washer head machine screw manufactured from zinc-plated steel. Conforming to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, this screw is suited for general mechanical assembly work where a corrosion-resistant, low-profile fastener is required. The hex washer head allows for both slotted-driver and hex wrench installation, providing flexibility in tight or awkward spaces. The zinc plating adds a layer of corrosion protection appropriate for indoor and light-duty applications. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals commonly use this fastener when assembling panels, brackets, enclosures, and equipment housings.

This screw is appropriate for light mechanical assembly in residential and commercial trade applications. The 6-32 thread size and 1/2 inch overall length make it a standard choice for securing thin sheet metal components, electrical enclosure panels, control board brackets, and similar hardware. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, making it suitable for shop stock, service vehicles, or job-site fastener kits where consistent fastener supply is needed across multiple installations.

Key Features

• 6-32 unified coarse thread for secure engagement in standard tapped holes
• Hex washer head accepts both slotted screwdriver and hex wrench for versatile installation
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor use
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• 1/2 inch overall length suitable for thin panel and bracket fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 x 1/2 inch machine screw for general mechanical assembly, suitable for use wherever ASME B18.6.3 compliant slotted hex washer head fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a standard flat-blade screwdriver or appropriately sized hex wrench. Always ensure the mating tapped hole or nut thread specification matches 6-32 unified coarse before driving. Do not overtighten in thin sheet metal or plastic housings, as the hex washer head bearing surface can distort soft substrates. Verify torque requirements against the equipment manufacturer specifications before installation in critical assemblies.
