Value Collection R52000997 10-32x3in Flat Phillips Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000997 is a 10-32 x 3 inch flat head Phillips machine screw manufactured from steel with a zinc-plated finish. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 standards, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels. The flat head design sits flush with the mating surface when driven into a countersunk hole. At 0.019 pounds per unit, this screw is a lightweight fastener suited for applications where a clean, low-profile finish is required. Installation is straightforward using a standard Phillips screwdriver or bit driver.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, control cabinet assembly, and general sheet metal or structural fastening. The 10-32 thread size is a fine-thread Unified National series designation, offering good thread engagement in tapped holes found in thin metal and equipment chassis. The overall length of 3 inches accommodates thicker stack assemblies or longer reach requirements. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• 10-32 fine thread provides strong engagement in tapped metal holes
• Flat head profile sits flush in countersunk applications for a clean finish
• Phillips drive compatible with standard screwdrivers and power bit drivers
• Zinc-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance for general indoor use
• Meets ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 dimensional and material standards
• Overall length of 3 inches suits deeper assemblies and thicker material stacks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 machine screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3 compliant flat head Phillips fastener with a 3-inch overall length in a tapped or pre-threaded hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a power driver using a Phillips bit; ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 10-32 before driving. For countersunk applications, verify the countersink angle matches the flat head profile to achieve a flush seating surface. Always de-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten, as fine-thread fasteners in thin metal can strip threads if excessive torque is applied without a torque-limiting tool.
