FAQ
What does 10-24 or 1/4-20 mean?
The first number is the diameter (a screw gauge number such as #10, or a fraction of an inch) and the second is threads per inch. A 10-24 screw is #10 diameter with 24 threads per inch.
How is machine screw length measured?
Round head screws are measured from under the head. Flat head screws are measured overall, including the head.
How strong are brass fasteners?
Brass is softer and weaker than steel or stainless steel, so brass fasteners are best for light duty, decorative and electrical work rather than structural loads. Tighten them by hand or with light torque; overtightening can strip threads or twist off a screw.
