Value Collection 242298 Button Cap Screw 1/4-20 1-1/4 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 242298 is a 1/4-20 button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head with high corrosion resistance. Machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 standards and is threaded to a Unified National Coarse (UNC) specification with a Class 3A thread fit. The hex socket drive accepts a 5/32-inch allen key for installation in tight clearance zones where a conventional hex-head tool cannot reach. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general trade professionals use this style of fastener when flush or near-flush mounting is required on panels, brackets, and equipment frames.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial trade applications where a low-profile button head is preferred over a standard socket head cap screw. The 1-1/4-inch length under head accommodates moderate material stack-ups while the 18-8 stainless steel construction resists oxidation in humid or wet environments common in HVAC, plumbing, and pool service settings. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order with a package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• Low-profile button head reduces protrusion on finished panels and equipment enclosures

• 5/32-inch hex socket drive allows installation in confined spaces with standard allen wrenches
• Class 3A UNC thread fit ensures consistent engagement and reliable clamp load
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 fastener standard for dimensional consistency
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for stainless steel hardware applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 1/4-20 UNC button socket cap screw suitable for use in trade equipment assemblies, panel mounting, and structural brackets requiring a low-profile fastener head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or allen socket driver. De-energize all electrical equipment and shut off any pressurized systems before accessing fastened assemblies. Use calibrated torque tools appropriate to the joint material to avoid galling stainless threads. Apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless fasteners when there is a risk of thread galling in stainless-to-stainless applications.
