Value Collection 243505 Flat Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 243505 is a flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk fastener profile. Machined to a 1/4-20 UNC thread with an overall length of 1.5 inches, this screw features an 82-degree flat head and a 5/32-inch hex socket drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and trade service environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians use flat socket cap screws where a low-profile, flush-mounted fastener is required and a standard hex-head fastener would interfere with mating components or covers.

This fastener is used across residential and commercial applications wherever a countersunk, flush-seating screw is needed. Common installation scenarios include mounting panels, brackets, and mechanical assemblies where surface clearance is limited. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most widely used inch-series thread standards, making this screw compatible with a broad range of tapped holes and threaded inserts found in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, pump housings, and general plumbing hardware.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes for a low-profile finish
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen or hex key tools
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-series tapped hardware
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Overall length of 1.5 inches suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC countersunk flat socket cap screw with an 82-degree head angle. Fits standard inch-series countersunk holes sized for 1/4-20 UNC thread.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to 82 degrees to allow the flat head to seat fully flush. De-energize and de-pressurize any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners on live assemblies. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling of the thread can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when specified by the equipment manufacturer.
