Value Collection R63032323 Machine Screw 1/4-20 X 2.5 in Pan

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63032323 is a 1/4-20 x 2.5 inches pan head machine screw designed for general fastening applications in industrial, commercial, and trade environments. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance and broad chemical compatibility. The Phillips drive pan head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and is compatible with standard Phillips bits and screwdrivers. Thread form is Unified National Coarse (UNC), making it straightforward to source matching nuts and threaded inserts. This fastener suits electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors who need a reliable, corrosion-resistant screw for panel mounting, equipment assembly, and structural fastening tasks.

This machine screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening in both indoor and outdoor environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general equipment assembly. The length measurement is taken under the head, giving an actual grip length of 2.5 inches. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for stocking, service trucks, or project-quantity purchasing.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet and outdoor environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts, inserts, and tapped holes
• Pan head profile delivers a low-profile bearing surface suitable for flat and curved substrates
• Phillips drive works with standard #2 Phillips bits and hand drivers
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or introduce galvanic concerns with stainless hardware
• Length under head measured at 2.5 inches for accurate grip-length planning

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC machine screw with a pan head Phillips drive. Compatible with standard 1/4-20 hex nuts, nylon-insert lock nuts, flat washers, and tapped holes machined to UNC tolerances.

Installation Notes

Install using a #2 Phillips screwdriver or a 1/4-20 compatible bit driver. Ensure the mating thread or nut is clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading. When fastening into metal panels or enclosures, use a flat washer where required to distribute clamping load. Stainless fasteners can be prone to galling — apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads if repeated removal is anticipated.
