Value Collection 33597 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 33597 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and general trade applications. Sized at 10-24 UNC thread with a 2.25-inch length under head, this screw accepts a 5/32-inch hex (Allen) drive. The alloy steel construction is finished with a black oxide coating, which provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces surface friction during installation. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and mechanical strength requirements for critical assemblies. Each package contains 25 screws.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for use in equipment panels, mechanical assemblies, motor mounts, bracket hardware, and other applications where a flush or recessed drive fastener is required. The 10-24 UNC thread is a common size across residential and light commercial HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture brackets. Partial threading allows the shank to bear shear loads, making it appropriate for applications requiring precise clamping force over a controlled grip length. Trades including HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers will find this a practical stocking fastener for field and shop use.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5/32-inch hex key or T-handle hex driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing internal fasteners in electrical or HVAC enclosures. Do not over-torque; refer to the equipment manufacturer's torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
