Holo-krome 72072 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 72072 is a hex socket cap screw engineered for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade assembly work. It features a 10-24 UNC thread with a 0.5-inch length under head and is fully threaded along that length. The drive is a 5/32-inch internal hex socket, accepting a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, this screw delivers corrosion resistance and surface hardness appropriate for demanding service environments. Installation is clean and flush-friendly, making it a common choice when a low-profile fastener head is required.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, mechanical panels, pump housings, and equipment frames. The 10-24 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread designation suited for steel and tapped-hole assemblies in both light-gauge and solid stock. The black oxide finish is appropriate for indoor or protected environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed alongside a clean, non-reflective appearance. Sold individually per unit with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement over the full 0.5-inch length
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 fastener standards
• Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance finish
• Compact cap head profile suits recessed or flush-mount fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded assembly specifying a 10-24 UNC fastener with a 0.5-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver; a T-handle or torque-limiting driver is recommended for consistent seating without stripping the socket. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening or removing hardware in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Do not reuse fasteners that show thread damage or corrosion. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications or applicable ASME guidelines for the assembly being serviced.
