Value Collection 212073PR Flat Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 212073PR is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a flush or countersunk head profile. It features an 82-degree flat head with a hex socket drive and a 1/4-20 UNC thread. The screw is fully threaded along its 5/8-inch overall length and is manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance. This fastener is installed using a hex key or Allen wrench and is suited for mechanical assemblies, brackets, enclosures, and equipment panels across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade work where a low-profile head is required.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where a countersunk fastener is needed to sit flush with or below the surface of the mating material. Typical install scenarios include mounting panels, securing components to framing, and assembling fabricated sheet metal or structural parts. The 1/4-20 UNC thread standard makes it compatible with a wide range of tapped holes and standard nuts in inch-measurement assemblies.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes
• Hex socket drive for torque control with an Allen or hex key
• 1/4-20 UNC fully threaded for secure engagement through the full shank length
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• 5/8-inch overall length suits thin to medium material stack-ups
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard UNC fastener hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC countersunk fastener with an 82-degree flat head and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a properly sized hex key or Allen wrench matched to the socket size. Ensure the receiving hole is chamfered to an 82-degree countersink angle to allow the head to seat correctly. De-energize or shut down any equipment before installing or removing fasteners on live assemblies. Do not overdrive; seating torque should follow the assembly specification for 1/4-20 stainless steel fasteners.
