Value Collection R63086444 Machine Screw 2-56 X 3/8 in Flat Slotted

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63086444 is a 2-56 UNC machine screw measuring 3/8 inches in overall length. It features a flat head profile and a slotted drive, machined from brass with a bright, uncoated finish. This screw is sized for fine-thread applications where a low-profile head is required, and the brass construction offers natural corrosion resistance without plating. The 2-56 thread designation indicates a No. 2 diameter with 56 threads per inch. Installers in electrical, HVAC controls, and instrumentation work commonly use fasteners in this size range when assembling panels, terminal covers, or small equipment housings.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical and electrical assembly work in residential and commercial applications. The flat head seats flush when driven into a countersunk hole, making it a practical choice for cover plates, enclosure panels, and precision equipment assemblies where a smooth surface finish is required. Brass is the preferred material in low-voltage electrical environments due to its non-magnetic, non-sparking properties. Trade professionals including electricians, HVAC technicians, and instrument technicians use this fastener type for control panel assembly and equipment mounting tasks.

Key Features

• 2-56 UNC thread form — 56 threads per inch at No. 2 diameter
• 3/8-inch overall length with full-length thread measurement under head
• Flat head profile designed for countersunk, flush-mount installations
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Brass construction with bright, uncoated finish for natural corrosion resistance
• No washer — installs directly into countersunk or tapped holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC machine screw for use in any application requiring a No. 2 flat-head slotted fastener in inch-system hardware.

Installation Notes

Install using a flat-blade screwdriver sized to the slotted head to avoid cam-out and head damage. When threading into tapped blind holes, avoid over-torquing brass fasteners, as the material is softer than steel and susceptible to thread stripping. De-energize any electrical assembly before fastening or removing hardware inside control panels or enclosures. Follow applicable NEC guidelines when working inside electrical equipment.
