Legrand AV 500pc 10-32 Screw with Captive

Experience dependable mounting simplicity with the Legrand AV 500pc 10-32 Screw with Captive. This comprehensive set is designed for professional audiovisual installations, offering a generous 500-piece pack of 10-32 machine screws with a captive feature that keeps fasteners securely attached to mounting plates. Perfect for AV racks, wall-mount enclosures, and equipment mounting panels, these screws provide consistent thread engagement, durable performance, and faster service times on every job. The Legrand brand is renowned for reliability in electrical and AV assemblies, and this screw assortment upholds that standard by delivering precision-crafted hardware that installers can trust for repeated use in high-demand environments.

• Versatile 10-32 thread compatibility: The standard 10-32 size is widely used across AV equipment, racks, mounting brackets, and enclosures, ensuring seamless integration with most common mounting holes and threaded inserts found in professional audiovisual gear. This consistency reduces guesswork on-site and helps technicians complete installations quickly and accurately, with fewer callbacks for fit-related issues.
• Captive design to reduce missing fasteners: Each screw in this Legrand AV collection is engineered with a captive feature, meaning the fastener remains tethered to the mounting plate or component when loosened. This design minimizes lost hardware during installation or service, speeds up field adjustments, and lowers the risk of misplaced screws that could delay projects or degrade mounting integrity over time.
• Durable steel construction with corrosion protection: Built from robust steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, these screws stand up to regular use and environmental exposure typical of AV installations. The durable construction contributes to long service life, reliable performance under vibration, and secure clamping without significant wear after repeated tightening and loosening.
• High-volume packaging for professional workflows: The 500-piece quantity is tailored for installers managing multiple panels, racks, or enclosures across a venue, office, or home theater project. This bulk pack helps maintain turnkey job readiness—no need to reorder mid-project—and supports consistent hardware across all mounting points for a cohesive, professional finish.
• Precision threading for smooth, secure mounting: The 10-32 thread provides reliable engagement with clean, uniform threads. The screws are designed for easy hand starting and precise tightening with standard tools, facilitating fast assembly while ensuring a secure hold that resists loosening due to equipment vibrations or thermal cycling common in AV environments.

How to install Legrand AV 500pc 10-32 Screw w/capt.

• Prepare the mounting surface: Inspect the panel or enclosure to identify all 10-32 threaded holes and ensure they are clean and free of debris that could hinder threading.
• Position components: Align the AV equipment, mounting bracket, or enclosure with the corresponding holes so that the captive screws align with the threaded inserts or holes.
• Engage the captive screws: Reach for a screw with the captive feature, and begin threading it by hand to establish a straight, concentric engagement. The captive design helps you avoid losing the screw during the initial stage of installation.
• Tighten securely: Use the appropriate screwdriver or driver to snug the screw until it is securely fastened. Apply steady, even pressure and monitor for any resistance that could indicate cross-threading or misalignment. Avoid over-tightening to protect threads and mounting components.
• Verify stability: Once all screws are in place, check the overall alignment of the mounted device. Re-torque if necessary to ensure uniform clamping and confirm that the mounting hardware is secure against vibration, movement, or handling during use.
