Value Collection 242330 Flat Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 242330 is a flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications where a low-profile head is required. The screw features an 82-degree flat head geometry and a 5/32-inch hex socket drive, accepting a standard hex key for installation. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers good corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and maintenance environments. The thread specification is 1/4-20 UNC with an overall length of 3/4 inches. These fasteners are installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working on equipment assemblies, fixtures, or structural components requiring a flush-mount fastener.

This screw is suited for use in countersunk hole applications across a wide range of assemblies including machinery frames, brackets, enclosures, and equipment panels. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is a common inch-series coarse thread, making this fastener compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts of that specification. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed, including light outdoor or wet-area applications. These are sold in minimum order quantities of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush with or below the workpiece surface in standard countersunk holes
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with a standard hex key or Allen wrench
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for general-purpose use
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard — common inch-series coarse thread for broad compatibility
• 3/4-inch overall length suits moderate-depth countersunk fastening tasks
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk maintenance and production use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC countersunk fastener with an 82-degree flat head seating angle and a 5/32-inch hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver — ensure the driver is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to avoid cam-out and socket damage. The mating countersunk hole should be machined or drilled to an 82-degree included angle to achieve proper flush seating. Degrease mating threads before assembly if thread-locking compound will be applied. When working on energized equipment, follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before performing any fastener replacement or service work.
