Value Collection 242294 Button Cap Screw 1/4-20 1/2 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 242294 is a button socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a low-profile head and reliable clamping strength. Featuring a 1/4-20 thread size with a UNC thread standard, this screw is driven by a 5/32 hex socket and meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 fastener standards. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments. The button head style provides a rounded, finished appearance while maintaining a secure hold. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals commonly install these fasteners in light to medium-duty applications.

This button socket cap screw is suited for use in machinery, equipment panels, fixtures, and assemblies where a flush or low-profile head is preferred and clearance is limited. The right-hand, Class 3A thread fit ensures consistent engagement with standard 1/4-20 tapped holes. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, these fasteners are appropriate for both shop stock and production-line use across manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by threading the screw into a pre-tapped or through-hole with a 5/32 hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten, as 18-8 stainless fasteners can be susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if galling is a concern. Follow applicable mechanical or structural specifications for torque requirements specific to your assembly.
