Featuring a 5\/16-18 UNC thread and a 3\/16-inch hex socket drive, this screw is turned with a standard hex key or Allen wrench. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it resists corrosion in moderate-exposure environments. The 3\/4-inch length under head suits a wide range of medium-duty mechanical assemblies. Manufactured to ANSI\/ASME B18.3 standards, it is suited for use in fabrication, maintenance, and general industrial work performed by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is used in applications where a standard hex cap screw head would protrude too far or interfere with adjacent components. The low-profile button head distributes clamping load across a wider bearing surface, making it a practical choice for sheet metal assemblies, equipment panels, jigs, and fixtures. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for light outdoor exposure, food-adjacent equipment, and environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed. This fastener ships in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per the supplier specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButton head profile provides low clearance and wide bearing surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction for moderate corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC right-hand thread, Class 3A fit for precise tolerancing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish — no additional surface treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eManufactured to ANSI\/ASME B18.3 fastener standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style and general-purpose replacement or new-install button socket cap screw for any application requiring a 5\/16-18 UNC thread, 3\/4-inch grip length, and ANSI\/ASME B18.3 compliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a 3\/16-inch hex key or hex socket bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when installing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Verify thread engagement and torque requirements against the assembly specification for the host equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Fit Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Button\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1660 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8 Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright\/Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\/ASME B18.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.017 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700699922738,"sku":"242300","price":8892.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fef70090f016c24f857bd31992293c80.jpg?v=1788394005","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-242300-button-socket-cap-screw-5-16-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
