Value Collection R83924044 Machine Screw 10-24 X 3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R83924044 is a 10-24 UNC machine screw with a round head and slotted drive, manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 3 inches in length measured under the head, this fastener is suited for applications requiring corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength. The 18-8 stainless alloy offers good resistance to oxidation and mild chemicals, making it a dependable choice in environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would be prone to rust. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general contractors regularly specify this fastener type when assembling panels, equipment enclosures, and mechanical supports.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks across residential and commercial installations. The slotted round head profile provides a low-profile bearing surface and is compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power bits. Common applications include securing electrical enclosure components, mounting brackets, HVAC access panels, plumbing fixture hardware, and general mechanical assemblies where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Sold individually as a single-piece package unit with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• 10-24 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 3-inch length measured under the head for consistent fastening depth
• Round head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Slotted drive accepts standard flat-blade screwdrivers and slotted power bits
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances without added plating thickness

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC machine screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or with any standard 10-24 nut conforming to inch-series fastener specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a flat-blade screwdriver or appropriate slotted power bit matched to the head recess size. Follow applicable mechanical and electrical codes, including NEC requirements when fastening inside electrical enclosures. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the rated torque range for 10-24 stainless fasteners, as 18-8 stainless is susceptible to galling if driven too aggressively without lubrication.
