Value Collection SFR10-32X1/2 10-32 Self Sealing Machine Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SFR10-32X1/2 is a 10-32 flat head self sealing machine screw designed for applications where vibration resistance and a leak-proof seal are required at the fastener point. The screw features an integrated silicone O-ring that compresses against the mating surface during installation, creating a seal that resists fluid intrusion and loosening under dynamic loads. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. The flat head profile seats flush or countersunk, and the No. 2 Phillips drive is compatible with standard hand and power tools. Overall length is 0.5 inches.

This fastener is suited for light mechanical assemblies, enclosure panels, electronic equipment housings, and similar applications where a conventional machine screw would allow moisture or contaminants to pass through the fastener hole. HVAC techs, electricians, and equipment assemblers commonly use self sealing screws when fastening into sheet metal or thin substrates where a gasketed barrier at the fastener is required. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes these screws appropriate for both indoor and mildly corrosive outdoor environments.

Key Features

• Integrated silicone O-ring provides a compressive seal against the mating surface
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Flat head profile allows flush or countersunk seating
• No. 2 Phillips drive for compatibility with standard hand and power tools
• Uncoated finish — no coating thickness to account for in tight-tolerance fits
• 10-32 thread size with 0.5 inch overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 self sealing machine screw suitable for general mechanical assembly, panel fastening, and equipment enclosure applications where a watertight or contaminant-resistant seal at the fastener hole is required.

Installation Notes

Install using a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver or bit driver; avoid power-driving at high torque to prevent overcompressing or extruding the silicone O-ring. The mating surface should be clean and flat to allow the O-ring to seat evenly and form a proper seal. Do not reuse the O-ring if the screw has been removed and reinstalled multiple times, as repeated compression can degrade the seal. Verify thread engagement depth is sufficient to fully compress the O-ring without bottoming out in a blind hole.
