Value Collection R56002038 6-32 X 1/2 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56002038 is a 6-32 UNC machine screw engineered for reliable fastening in corrosion-resistant applications. Featuring a round head profile and slotted drive, this screw measures 1/2 inch in length under the head and is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Grade 316 stainless provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304-grade material, making it a preferred choice for marine, chemical, and outdoor installations. This fastener is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package and suits trade and industrial assembly work where corrosion resistance is critical.

This machine screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assembly, electrical panel work, HVAC equipment enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and similar applications where a small-diameter UNC thread fastener is required. The slotted drive accommodates standard flat-head screwdrivers, making it compatible with common hand and power tools found in the field. The Grade 316 stainless steel construction makes this screw particularly appropriate for wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh and marine environments
• 6-32 UNC thread size with 1/2 inch length under head for precise, standardized fitment
• Round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface suitable for thin material applications
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and bits
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and conductivity where required
• No washer included; designed for direct bearing against the fastened surface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring a round head slotted fastener with a 1/2 inch under-head length in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, or general mechanical tradespeople using a flat-blade screwdriver or matching bit driver. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped or fitted with a compatible 6-32 UNC nut or threaded insert before driving the screw. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the slotted drive or damage threads in softer base materials. When working in energized panels or enclosures, de-energize the equipment and follow applicable NFPA 70 lockout-tagout procedures before fastener installation.
