Value Collection 3SSCS10C208 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SSCS10C208 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment where a flush or recessed head profile is required. Sized at 10-24 UNC with a 2.5-inch length under head, this screw uses a 5/32-inch hex drive and is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), providing solid corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards, making it appropriate for maintenance, fabrication, and repair work across multiple trades.

This screw is suited for light-to-medium duty fastening tasks in HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and general fabrication work. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to align mating components before the threads engage, which is useful in precision assembly or where shear load distribution across the joint matters. Installers working in corrosive or wet environments will find the stainless steel construction appropriate for those conditions. This screw is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 2.5-inch length under head provides reach for thicker stack-ups or longer engagement depth
• 5/32-inch hex drive accepts standard Allen wrenches and hex bit drivers
• Partially threaded shank aids component alignment and handles shear loads
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards for dimensional and material compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 10-24 UNC partially threaded hex socket cap screw with a 2.5-inch length under head, conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw to avoid thread damage. De-energize or shut off any equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur — applying anti-seize compound to the threads before installation is a common field practice to prevent seizing.
