Middle Atlantic 500 pieces Black 12-24 Phillips Screws with Washers - HP24-500

Middle Atlantic HP24-500 12-24 Black Truss Head Phillips Rack Screws (500-Pack)

Overview

The Middle Atlantic HP24-500 delivers 500 black-finish, 12-24 truss head Phillips screws in a single pack — the consumable that disappears fastest on any rack installation project. At 0.75 inches in length, these screws are sized for standard rack rail engagement without bottoming out in shallow-threaded nuts or cage nut inserts. The black finish matches anodized rack rails and panels, keeping the front of open-frame and enclosed racks visually consistent. A bulk pack of 500 means a mid-size integrator can stock a single SKU and cover multiple rack builds without reordering mid-project.

Compatibility

Designed for 12-24 threaded rack rails — the standard found across Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and frames, as well as most third-party two-post and four-post equipment racks using the EIA-310 standard 12-24 thread pattern. Compatible with standard 12-24 cage nut inserts used in server racks, AV equipment frames, and network switch enclosures. Verify your rail thread type before ordering — 10-32 rails require a different screw diameter and are not compatible with this pack. Most Middle Atlantic ERK, WRK, and BGR series rack frames ship with 12-24 rails and accept these screws directly.

Installation Notes

Phillips drive requires a #2 Phillips screwdriver or appropriate bit. Truss head profile provides a wider bearing surface than pan head alternatives, distributing clamping force across rack panel flanges — useful when mounting lighter-gauge blanking panels or patch panels where a narrow head could distort the material. Do not overtorque: 12-24 screws in cage nut inserts will strip the nut before the screw, so hand-tight plus a quarter turn is the correct finish for most panel applications. For a structured cable management install, pre-thread screws loosely into cage nuts before sliding equipment into position to prevent dropped hardware inside the rack.
