Holo-krome 72070 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc Alloy Steel

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 72070 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment installations, and industrial applications. It features a 10-24 UNC thread size and measures 3/8 inches in length under the head, with full threading along the entire shank. A 5/32-inch hex socket drive allows installation with a standard Allen wrench or hex bit driver. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance and strength appropriate for demanding service environments. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and equipment fabricators working on close-tolerance assemblies will find this screw well suited to confined fastening locations where a hex socket drive is required.

This fastener is used in a broad range of applications including HVAC equipment frames and brackets, electrical enclosures, pump assemblies, and general mechanical fabrication. The 10-24 UNC thread is a common unified coarse thread standard found throughout residential and commercial equipment. The black oxide coating helps reduce surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection in field and shop settings. This screw meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards, making it a reliable choice for standardized assemblies.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread tapped holes
• 3/8-inch length under head — fully threaded along the entire shank
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for Allen wrench or hex bit installation
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to unified coarse thread specifications for that size.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized 5/32-inch hex key or Allen-type driver to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize any electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before replacing fasteners in live assemblies. Verify torque requirements against the equipment manufacturer's specifications, as torque values vary by assembly.
