Value Collection R56001580 6-32 X 3/8 Flat Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56001580 is a 6-32 x 3/8-inch flat head slotted machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The UNC thread form and slotted drive make it compatible with standard flathead screwdrivers and machine tapping tools. Grade 316 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this screw a reliable choice for demanding environments. Overall length is 3/8 inches, measured from the top of the head. This screw ships without a washer. Commonly installed by maintenance technicians, electricians, and HVAC and plumbing service professionals during panel assembly, equipment mounting, and general fastening tasks.

This machine screw is suited for light-duty fastening applications in both residential and commercial settings. The 6-32 UNC thread is one of the most widely used machine screw sizes in electrical enclosures, control panels, junction boxes, and equipment casings. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when installed in a countersunk hole, which is important in applications where a protruding head would interfere with covers, panels, or adjacent components. This screw is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per package.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring a 6-32 threaded fastener with a flat head slotted drive profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, electricians, or HVAC service professionals using a standard flathead screwdriver sized to the slot. Always ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 6-32 UNC specification before driving the screw. For flush seating, the mating surface must be countersunk to match the flat head angle. De-energize any electrical equipment before installing or removing fasteners in live enclosures or control panels.
