Value Collection R56001668 Machine Screw 10-32 Flat Head

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56001668 is a 10-32 UNF machine screw designed for threaded fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy. The flat head profile sits flush with the mating surface when installed into a countersunk hole, and the slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. At 1.5 inches overall length with no washer, this screw is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It is suited for environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or marine conditions makes standard carbon steel fasteners unsuitable.

This fastener is used in light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, instrument panels, HVAC equipment housings, plumbing fixture trim, and similar applications requiring a flush-mount fastener in a corrosive environment. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a No. 10 diameter with 32 threads per inch on a Unified National Fine pitch, providing good holding strength in thin materials and precise thread engagement. Grade 316 stainless steel offers elevated resistance to chlorides and saline conditions compared to Grade 304.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for fine-pitch engagement in thin or precision-threaded materials
• Flat head design countersinks flush with the work surface
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish with no additional plating or coating
• 1.5 inches overall length with no washer — length measured under head equals overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series machine screw for use in any application requiring a 10-32 UNF flat head slotted fastener in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and slot damage. For flush seating, the mating hole should be countersunk to match the flat head angle before installation. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before fastening into or around live panels. When installing in stainless steel threaded holes, apply an anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling.
