Value Collection R52000971 Hex Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000971 is a 10-32 x 3/8-inch hex head machine screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in light industrial, commercial, and trade applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish, it meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, ensuring consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy. The hex drive head allows installation with a standard hex wrench or socket. Length is measured under the head at 3/8 inches. This fastener ships without a washer and is sized for use in pre-tapped holes or with a matching nut in assemblies requiring a fine unified thread pitch.

This screw is commonly used in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, control board mounting, and general sheet metal or machined-part assemblies where a 10-32 fine thread is specified. The zinc plating provides moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor or sheltered environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors will find this fastener compatible with a wide range of standard equipment mounting applications. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

• Length under head: 3/8 inches, without washer
• Grade J82 material specification for consistent mechanical properties

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 fine thread machine screw for use in any application specifying a hex head fastener per ASME B18.6.3 or SAE J82. Suitable for pre-tapped holes or use with a 10-32 hex nut across a wide range of mechanical, electrical, and HVAC assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriately sized hex wrench or socket driver. Verify the mating thread or nut is also 10-32 before installation to avoid cross-threading. De-energize any electrical equipment before fastening components inside panels or enclosures. Do not exceed the design load of the mating material, particularly in thin sheet metal applications.
