Value Collection 243503 Flat Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 243503 is a flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk fastener profile. Featuring an 82-degree flat head with a 5/32 inch hex socket drive, this screw installs flush with or below the surface of the mating material, eliminating protrusions that could interfere with moving parts or mating surfaces. The 1/4-20 UNC thread provides reliable engagement in standard inch-system tapped holes. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and trade service environments. Installers across plumbing, HVAC, electrical panel, and light structural assembly work reach for this fastener when a low-profile, corrosion-resistant connection is required.

This screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies wherever a countersunk fastener is needed to maintain a flush surface. Common applications include equipment panel mounting, fixture assembly, pump housings, and bracket fabrication. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most widely used inch-standard thread sizes, making this screw compatible with a broad range of pre-tapped components and standard hex nuts. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for shop stock, service van inventory, or small-batch production runs.

Key Features

• 5/32 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with a standard Allen key or hex bit
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, humid, and mildly chemical environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-system tapped holes and nuts
• Overall length of 1-1/4 inches suits a wide range of panel and bracket thicknesses
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk stocking and repeat-use applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC inch-standard countersunk socket cap screw with an 82-degree flat head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32 inch hex key or hex socket bit driver. The receiving material must be drilled and countersunk to an 82-degree included angle to achieve a flush seating surface. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener installation or removal on live assemblies. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the application before applying final torque.
