Value Collection 211014PR Flat Socket Cap Screw 3-48

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 211014PR is a flat socket cap screw designed for low-profile fastening applications where a flush or countersunk surface finish is required. Sized at 3-48 UNC x 1/4 inches overall length, it features an 82-degree flat head with a 1/16-inch hex socket drive. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw is fully threaded and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards. It is suitable for general mechanical assembly where a recessed drive and flat seating surface are necessary. Licensed tradespeople and assembly technicians install these in metal fabrication, equipment manufacturing, and precision mechanical assemblies.

This flat socket cap screw is used in applications requiring a flush-mounted fastener in tight clearance areas. The compact 3-48 thread size and 1/4-inch length make it appropriate for light-duty instrument panels, electronic enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and precision mechanical components. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock or production assembly operations where consistent fastener supply is needed.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile for flush or countersunk installation
• 1/16-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application in confined spaces
• Fully threaded 3-48 UNC x 1/4-inch length for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction for strength in mechanical fastening applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production-use flat socket cap screw for applications requiring a 3-48 UNC thread specification with an 82-degree countersunk flat head and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, or maintenance technicians using a 1/16-inch hex key or ball-end hex driver. Ensure the mating countersink is machined to an 82-degree angle to achieve proper head seating. Do not over-torque small-diameter screws, as alloy steel fasteners in this size range can be susceptible to shear at excessive torque values. Verify thread engagement depth in the receiving material before final assembly.
