Value Collection R52000979 Pan Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000979 is a 10-32 pan head machine screw with a slotted drive, designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and light-duty structural applications. Manufactured from steel with a zinc finish, this screw measures 0.5 inches in length under the head and meets the ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 fastener standards. The pan head profile provides a wide bearing surface and low-profile appearance, making it well suited for sheet metal, electronic enclosures, and equipment panels. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service work rely on this screw type for panel reassembly and component mounting.

This screw is appropriate for use in both residential and light commercial service applications where a standard inch-series 10-32 thread is required. It is commonly used to secure control board brackets, access panels, junction box covers, and equipment housings. The zinc finish provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected environments. Sold in multiples of 100 per order.
