Value Collection 019207PR Low Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 019207PR is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where standard-height cap screw heads create clearance problems. Sized at 5/16-18 x 1-1/2 inches with full threading along the entire shank length, this fastener accepts a 5/32-inch hex key drive. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance in moderate environments while maintaining the mechanical strength expected in structural and mechanical assembly work. The ASME/ANSI B18.8 standard governs dimensional and performance requirements for this screw type.

This low socket cap screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, jigs, fixtures, tooling plates, and machine components where a flush or near-flush head profile is required. The UNC 5/16-18 thread pitch is one of the most common inch-series thread standards in North American manufacturing and maintenance environments, making this screw a go-to fastener for both OEM production and field service work across general industrial, HVAC equipment, and light structural applications.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces clearance requirements versus standard socket cap screws
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement along the entire 1-1/2-inch length
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tools
• Alloy steel construction for higher tensile strength compared to plain carbon steel
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.8 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series low socket cap screw compatible with any 5/16-18 UNC tapped hole conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.8 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not exceed the torque rating specified for the alloy steel grade being used, and confirm thread engagement depth meets minimum requirements for the joint load. Power down and de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners in live assemblies.
