Holo-krome 68014 Low Socket Cap Screw 10-24 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 68014 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a reduced head profile is required without sacrificing clamping strength. Sized at 10-24 x 1/2 inches and fully threaded under the head, it uses a 3/32-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application in tight spaces. The screw is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light glare in assemblies. Head height measures 0.0980 inches, making it well-suited for countersunk or low-clearance installations. It meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards. Machinists, millwrights, and equipment technicians are the primary installers.

This low socket cap screw is used in industrial machinery, equipment panels, fixtures, and fabricated assemblies where standard-height cap screws would interfere with mating components or enclosures. The coarse UNC thread pitch and fully threaded shank make it appropriate for through-hole and short-depth tapped hole applications in steel and similar materials. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces, consistent with MRO and production-line restocking use cases.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile at 0.0980 inches head height for clearance-critical installations
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in shallow tapped holes
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance surface
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and driver bits
• Coarse UNC thread standard per ASME B18.3 for broad tooling compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 inch-series low socket cap screw for use in any tapped 10-24 UNC hole requiring a reduced-height head and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/32-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean, properly sized to 10-24 UNC, and free of debris before driving. Apply thread-locking compound or fastener retention method as required by the assembly specification. Do not exceed the torque rating specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable fastener standard for this size and material class.
