Value Collection -40235-1 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -40235-1 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in demanding applications. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it suitable for high-strength bolting requirements. The 5/16-24 UNF thread provides fine-pitch engagement for applications where vibration resistance and precise load control are critical. A 1/4 inch hex drive socket is required for installation. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener in machine assemblies, fixtures, and structural components.

This cap screw is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments where fine-thread alloy fasteners are specified. The partially threaded shank allows for controlled clamping load across the grip length, a common requirement in precision machine builds and equipment maintenance. The 2.5 inch length under head accommodates moderate stack-up thicknesses. The black oxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance in dry or lightly oiled service environments.

Key Features

• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance
• 1/4 inch hex drive socket for installation
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard alloy steel hex socket cap screw for use in applications requiring a 5/16-24 UNF fine-thread fastener with a 2.5 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a calibrated 1/4 inch hex drive tool or Allen key. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing fastened assemblies. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant ASME standards for the fastener grade and material being clamped. Inspect thread condition and mating tapped holes before installation to ensure proper engagement.
