Holo-krome 78036 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc Stainless

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 78036 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in applications that demand corrosion resistance and precise thread engagement. Sized at 10-24 UNC with a 3/8 inch length under head, the fastener is fully threaded and driven by a 5/32 inch hex key. The body is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, making it well suited for environments where bare hardware is preferred. Manufactured to ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, this screw delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance across industrial and mechanical assembly work.

The 78036 is used wherever a compact, low-profile cap screw with a recessed hex drive is needed. Common applications include machine assembly, equipment fabrication, enclosure mounting, and light structural fastening in both commercial and industrial settings. The 10-24 UNC thread is a standard coarse thread widely found in machined components and threaded inserts across manufacturing environments. Installers working in food processing, marine, or chemical-adjacent environments often specify 18-8 stainless hardware for its passive corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and inserts
• 3/8 inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement in short-grip applications
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without coating
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to flake, chip, or contaminate sensitive assemblies
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 3/8 inch grip length and 5/32 inch drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 5/32 inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean, free of debris, and properly tapped to 10-24 UNC before driving the fastener. Do not use an impact driver at full torque on stainless fasteners, as galling can occur — apply anti-seize compound if repeated removal is anticipated. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and torque tables for 10-24 stainless hardware.
