Value Collection W55306PS 6-32 X 1/2 in Pan Head Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION W55306PS is a 6-32 x 1/2-inch pan head Phillips machine screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Measuring 1/2 inch under the head, it uses Unified National Coarse (UNC) threading and is driven with a standard Phillips screwdriver. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong corrosion resistance, making these fasteners appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture, mild chemicals, or salt air. These screws are sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units per pack, suitable for production assembly, maintenance, or service kit restocking.

These machine screws are used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications where a corrosion-resistant, small-diameter fastener is required. Common uses include electrical panel assembly, HVAC equipment enclosures, control box mounting, plumbing fixture hardware, and light mechanical assemblies. The 6-32 thread is a widely used size in instrument and equipment manufacturing, making this fastener a practical stock item for service technicians and assemblers working on commercial or residential mechanical systems.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304
• Pan head profile distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface
• Phillips drive compatible with standard and power screwdrivers
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip or introduce contamination
• UNC threading for broad compatibility with standard 6-32 tapped holes and nuts
• Sold in packs of 100 for job-site or shop stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 6-32 machine screw for use in any tapped hole or nut accepting 6-32 thread; compatible with standard 6-32 hex nuts, locknuts, and threaded inserts across HVAC, electrical, and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a Phillips screwdriver or Phillips bit in a power driver set to a low-torque clutch setting to avoid stripping the pan head recess. De-energize all electrical equipment before fastening screws in panel or control box applications per applicable NEC requirements. Do not mix Grade 316 stainless fasteners with carbon steel hardware in corrosive environments, as galvanic incompatibility may accelerate corrosion of the dissimilar metal.
