Value Collection 019103PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 019103PR is a low socket cap hex socket screw designed for applications where a reduced-profile head is required. Sized at 10-24 x 1/2 inch, it is fully threaded with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form and driven by a 3/32 inch hex key. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener provides moderate corrosion resistance and a non-reflective appearance suited to tight-clearance assemblies. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.8 standards, making it a reliable choice for mechanical assemblies, machinery, and equipment enclosures. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance mechanics typically specify this screw when head height clearance is limited.

This fastener suits a broad range of industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications where a low-profile head is needed to clear adjacent components or mating surfaces. Common install scenarios include panel assemblies, fixtures, jigs, and machine housings. The black oxide finish is appropriate for indoor use or applications with minimal moisture exposure. Length measurement is taken under the head, and the screw is fully threaded the entire 1/2 inch shank length.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head provides reduced profile for tight-clearance installations
• Fully threaded 10-24 UNC shank for maximum thread engagement in shallow tapped holes
• Alloy steel construction for higher strength than standard carbon steel fasteners
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.8 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Driven by 3/32 inch (0.0938 inch) hex key for precise torque application in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket low cap screw per ASME/ANSI B18.8, suitable for use in any tapped 10-24 UNC threaded hole requiring a low-profile socket cap fastener.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 3/32 inch hex key or T-handle driver to avoid rounding the socket drive. Ensure the mating tapped hole meets 10-24 UNC thread specifications before installation. Clean threads and verify hole depth before seating the screw, as this fastener is fully threaded and bottoming in a blind hole can cause false torque readings. Follow applicable industry or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for 10-24 alloy steel fasteners.
