Sized at 5\/16-18 x 1 inch with a 3\/16 inch hex socket drive, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The button head style reduces protrusion above the mating surface, making it well suited for assemblies where clearance is limited. It conforms to ANSI\/ASME B18.3 and carries a 3A thread fit class with right-hand, Unified National Coarse threading. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals working with corrosion-resistant hardware will find this fastener appropriate for a wide range of mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a low-profile head and corrosion resistance are priorities. Common applications include equipment panels, enclosures, brackets, and machinery guards in both indoor and outdoor environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for humid or mildly corrosive conditions. It is a standard choice for HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, pump housings, and similar trade hardware installations where a conventional hex cap screw head height would interfere with adjacent components or covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButton head profile keeps fastener protrusion low, ideal for tight-clearance assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid and mildly corrosive environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread at 3A fit class ensures consistent engagement and reliable clamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and suits general industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ANSI\/ASME B18.3 for dimensional and material standardization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5\/16-18 UNC button socket cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel per ANSI\/ASME B18.3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall and remove using a 3\/16 inch hex key or Allen driver of appropriate quality to avoid rounding the socket. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies on electrical or HVAC components. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; application of an anti-seize compound is common practice when assembling stainless hardware. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.\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 Fit Class\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\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: 0.166 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 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\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: 0.021 pounds\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: 242301\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51703069344050,"sku":"242301","price":9307.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/140de4b85f469b8805ab1fd573f12594.jpg?v=1788414644","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-242301-button-socket-cap-screw-5-16-18-x-1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
