Value Collection 3sscs10c005 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3sscs10c005 is a 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications that require corrosion-resistant hardware. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), this fastener delivers solid resistance to rust and oxidation in both indoor and outdoor environments. The screw measures 5/16 inches in length under head and is fully threaded from tip to head, making it well suited for thin material applications where maximum thread engagement is needed. A 5/32-inch hex drive socket is required for installation. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals use this type of fastener across a wide range of light- to medium-duty mechanical assemblies.

This cap screw is appropriate for use in general industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly applications. The 10-24 thread designation is a common unified coarse thread size, widely used in machine building, equipment enclosures, panel mounting, and fixture fabrication. The Grade A2 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments with exposure to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. This fastener is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it standard for shop stock or project-level procurement.

Key Features

• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction, Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in thin materials
• 10-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard unified coarse tapped holes
• 5/16-inch length under head suits compact or thin-profile assemblies
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock fastener for any assembly requiring a 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 5/16-inch length under head in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and properly sized for 10-24 UNC thread engagement before driving the screw. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling under high torque; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel has lower yield strength than alloy steel fasteners of similar size.
