Value Collection R6-32X5/16 Machine Screw 6-32 5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R6-32X5/16 is a 6-32 pan head self sealing machine screw designed for applications where a reliable, leak-resistant fastener is required. The screw features an integrated silicone O-ring that seats beneath the head to provide a seal against moisture, fluids, and air infiltration when the fastener is driven home. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments. The No. 2 Phillips drive provides consistent torque transfer with standard tools. With a 5/16-inch length under head and 6-32 thread, this fastener suits close-tolerance panel and enclosure work across HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assemblies.

This screw is used in applications where a standard machine screw would allow fluid or gas ingress through the fastener hole. Typical install scenarios include control enclosures, junction boxes, equipment panels, and light-duty mechanical assemblies where a watertight or weatherproof fastener is needed. The silicone O-ring makes it well suited for outdoor-rated enclosures and equipment exposed to moisture. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service use self sealing screws when servicing panels and access covers that must maintain an environmental seal.

Key Features

• Integrated silicone O-ring provides a seal against moisture and fluid ingress beneath the screw head
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid and outdoor environments
• 6-32 thread with 5/16-inch length under head suits standard panel and enclosure thicknesses
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load evenly across the sealing surface
• No. 2 Phillips drive for compatibility with common hand and power tools
• Uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or contaminate the work surface

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit self sealing fastener for any application requiring a 6-32 machine screw with a pan head and O-ring seal. Confirm thread engagement depth and panel thickness are compatible with the 5/16-inch under-head length before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or matching power bit. De-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment before accessing fasteners per NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements. Drive the screw until the O-ring is fully compressed against the mating surface — do not overdrive, as excessive torque can distort or extrude the silicone O-ring and compromise the seal. Inspect the O-ring for damage before installation; a nicked or deformed O-ring will not provide a reliable seal.
