Value Collection R83924069 10-32 X 3/8 in Round Head Slotted Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R83924069 is a 10-32 x 3/8 inch round head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, panels, and equipment enclosures. Manufactured from grade 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and light outdoor applications. The slotted drive accepts a standard flat-blade screwdriver. Length measurement is taken under the head, so the 3/8 inch dimension reflects usable thread engagement depth. This screw ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suited for production, maintenance stock, or service van inventory replenishment.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and light mechanical assemblies. The 10-32 unified fine thread (UNF) provides a tighter thread pitch that resists loosening under vibration, which is a common requirement in equipment that cycles on and off. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and maintenance mechanics routinely use this size when replacing or securing cover panels, terminal boards, and component brackets.

Key Features

• Grade 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in damp or chemically active environments
• 10-32 UNF thread for tight thread engagement and vibration resistance
• Round head profile distributes clamping load over a wider surface area
• Slotted drive compatible with standard flat-blade screwdrivers
• Bright, uncoated finish with no added plating that could affect thread tolerance
• Length measured under head at 3/8 inches for accurate thread engagement planning

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF machine screw suitable for use in any application requiring a round head slotted fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized flat-blade screwdriver to avoid cam-out and slot damage. De-energize all electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before accessing panels or enclosures where these screws are used. Do not over-torque 18-8 stainless fasteners into tapped holes, as the material is susceptible to galling; apply an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless tapped holes. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening electrical enclosure hardware.
