Value Collection 011043P Hex Socket Cap Screw 5-40 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011043P is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in tight-clearance applications where a standard hex head cannot be used. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards for socket head cap screws. The 3/32 inch hex drive accepts a standard Allen-type key, and the screw is fully threaded along its 1/4 inch length under head on a 5-40 UNC thread form. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly professionals install this fastener across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications.

This fastener is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial assemblies where a low-profile, high-strength cap screw is required. The 5-40 UNC thread size is common in small mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, precision equipment, and light-duty structural connections. Fully threaded construction maximizes thread engagement across the full shank length, which is especially useful in shallow-tapped holes and thin-material applications.

Key Features

• 5-40 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement in thin materials
• 3/32 inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex-bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile strength relative to fastener size
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole with a 5-40 UNC thread, including common instrument, equipment, and mechanical assembly applications requiring a 3/32 inch Allen drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/32 inch hex key or Allen-bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not exceed the rated torque range for the 5-40 thread size and alloy steel grade as specified in ASME B18.3 torque tables. Black oxide fasteners used in high-moisture environments should be inspected periodically for surface corrosion.
