Value Collection R56002032 Machine Screw 6-32 X 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56002032 is a 6-32 UNC machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It measures 1/4 inch in length under the head and is supplied without a washer. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making this fastener well suited for wet, marine, chemical-exposure, or high-humidity environments where standard carbon steel hardware would degrade. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver, keeping installation straightforward in tight or limited-access spaces.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture hardware, and pool or marine equipment. The 6-32 thread and 1/4-inch length make it a common choice for securing thin sheet metal panels, light brackets, and terminal boards where a low-profile round head is required. It is handled by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 6-32 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• Round head profile keeps a low, smooth surface above the fastened material
• Slotted drive works with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and flat-tip bits
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or contaminate sensitive assemblies
• Without-washer configuration for use where pre-tapped holes or mating nuts provide full clamping

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring a 6-32 tapped hole or nut, including equipment panels, enclosures, and light structural hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver or matching flat-tip bit sized for a #6 slotted head. De-energize all electrical panels or equipment before replacing or installing fasteners on live enclosures, in accordance with applicable NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout procedures. Avoid over-torquing into thin sheet metal to prevent thread stripping; use a properly sized tapped hole or a mating nut for full thread engagement. Grade 316 stainless fasteners should not be mixed with carbon steel hardware in the same assembly to prevent galvanic corrosion.
