Product Information
Full details
This guide is for installers, home theater enthusiasts, and anyone needing reliable rack-mounting hardware. The Penn Elcom High Point Screws offer a convenient and secure solution for mounting equipment in standard racks, with the key benefit of an integrated plastic washer to protect surfaces and prevent over-tightening. A potential caveat is that the 22mm length may not be suitable for all rack-mount depths. This product provides 100 black, 10/32" high point screws, each featuring a non-threaded end for easy insertion and an attached plastic washer for added protection and grip, all supplied in a practical flip-top container.

FAQs
What is the exact length of these screws?
The screws are 22mm (approximately 3/4 inch) in length.
Are these screws suitable for outdoor or humid environments?
While the screws are finished, they are primarily designed for indoor rack installations. Prolonged exposure to high humidity or outdoor conditions may lead to degradation of the screw material or washer.
Can I use these screws with my custom-built rack?
As long as your custom rack uses standard 10/32" threaded inserts, these screws should be compatible.
How many screws come in a pack?
Each container includes 100 high point screws.
What is the purpose of the attached plastic washer?
The plastic washer prevents the screw head from scratching or damaging the surface of your equipment or rack, and it also helps to distribute pressure more evenly.
Will the plastic washer melt or deform under heat?
These screws are designed for standard rack environments. While they can withstand typical operating temperatures of electronic equipment, extreme heat sources may affect the plastic washer.
Can I remove and reattach the washer?
No, the plastic washer is permanently attached to the screw for convenience and secure mounting.
Troubleshooting
Screw won't thread into rack hole
Ensure you are using the correct 10/32" thread size. Check the rack hole for debris or damage. Try starting the screw with the non-threaded end first to guide it, then carefully engage the threads.
Washer feels loose or is missing
The plastic washer is permanently attached to the screw. If it appears damaged or detached, the screw may be compromised and should not be used. Contact customer support if this occurs.
Screw feels stripped or difficult to tighten
Stop tightening immediately. The threads on the screw or in the rack may be damaged. Inspect both for damage. If the screw is damaged, replace it with a new one from the pack. If the rack hole is damaged, you may need to use a larger thread size or repair the hole.
