It features a 5\/16-24 UNF thread form  -  a fine-pitch unified thread well suited for applications requiring precise tension control and resistance to vibration loosening. The screw is 2 inches in length under the head and is partially threaded, providing a smooth shank section that helps locate and align mated components. Drive engagement is via a 1\/4-inch internal hex socket, compatible with standard hex keys and socket drivers. The alloy steel construction with a black oxide finish offers a strong strength-to-weight ratio along with moderate corrosion resistance in controlled environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is a general-purpose industrial fastener used across a wide range of service and maintenance tasks. Typical applications include machinery assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure hardware, and structural bracketing where a flush or recessed fastener head is preferred. The fine-thread 5\/16-24 UNF designation makes it especially appropriate for thin-wall metal applications or where higher thread engagement strength per unit length is required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on commercial or residential mechanical systems will find this a standard-fit cap screw for both OEM replacement and general service use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 UNF fine-pitch thread for vibration-resistant, precise tension fastening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch length under head with partial threading for shank-guided component alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch internal hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding mechanical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 fastener standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 5\/16-24 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and fabrication applications where ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 compliant fasteners are specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed using a 1\/4-inch hex key or Allen-type socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the fastener to avoid cross-threading, especially with fine-pitch UNF threads. Always follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the fastener size and material grade. De-energize any electrical systems and depressurize or shut off mechanical systems before accessing fastened components in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical enclosure assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: -40233-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786883006770,"sku":"-40233-1","price":55.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/04f6f264ae7d66bbf62dd9d2ae5b2d45.jpg?v=1789207759","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-40233-1-hex-socket-cap-screw-5-16-24-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
