Value Collection R63030443 Machine Screw 10-32 Oval Slotted Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63030443 is a 10-32 x 0.5 inch oval head machine screw designed for fastening applications requiring a low-profile, finished appearance. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers reliable corrosion resistance in a wide range of indoor and outdoor environments. The slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers, making it a practical choice for maintenance and assembly work. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form, providing tight thread engagement suitable for metal-to-metal fastening without a washer. Sold in multiples of 100 per order.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, panel fastening, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment covers, and general trade applications where a flush or countersunk oval head profile is required. The overall and under-head length are both 0.5 inches, making this screw appropriate for thin-stock fastening where thread engagement depth is limited. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service commonly stock this size for equipment panel and access door hardware.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. For metal panel applications, ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to accept the oval head profile. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur — apply anti-seize compound if thread binding is a concern. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when fastening electrical enclosure hardware.
