What the 10-24 x 7/16 in Screw does

This short #10-24 screw fastens a shallow joint — a cover or bracket where the clamped parts are thin — pairing with the machine’s #10-24 coarse-thread nuts and bosses. The coarse #10-24 thread grips well in the mating boss and stands up to the vibration of a working vacuum better than a fine thread would in the same material.

Signs the 10-24 x 7/16 in Screw needs replacing

Replace this screw if its thread is stripped, the head or drive is damaged, or it is corroded so it no longer holds. Use the correct 7/16-inch length so it does not bottom out or protrude, and match #10-24 coarse thread — not #10-32 fine — to its mating part.

Installation and fit

Start the new 03660 screw straight into its #10-24 hole and tighten to clamp the shallow joint, without over-driving a molded boss. Keep it to its position rather than mixing with fine-thread #10-32 screws. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced Tacony equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is a #10-24 machine screw, 7/16 inch long, used to fasten covers, brackets and housing panels where a short coarse-thread fastener is needed. The length matters as much as the thread: a longer screw in the same boss will bottom out and either strip the thread or crack the housing around it.

It is a short #10-24 coarse-thread screw for a shallow joint such as a cover or bracket, pairing with the machine’s #10-24 nuts and bosses.

How do I know if my CM-WAV 10-24 x 7/16 screw needs replacing?

Replace it if the threads are stripped or galled, if the drive recess is rounded so a driver no longer seats, or if there is corrosion on the shank. A screw that spins without tightening has usually taken the boss thread with it, so check the threaded hole as well before refitting.

Replace it if the thread is stripped, the head or drive is damaged, or it is corroded so it will not hold. Match #10-24 coarse thread and the 7/16-inch length.
