Value Collection 48533 Hex Socket Cap Screw 12-24 Unc 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 48533 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in industrial, trade, and maintenance applications. Sized at 12-24 UNC with a 3/4 inch length under head, this fastener is fully threaded and driven with a 5/32 inch hex key. The alloy steel construction is finished with a black oxide coating, which provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection on exposed hardware. Each package contains 100 screws. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it suitable for applications that require a recognized dimensional and mechanical property specification.

Socket cap screws in the 12-24 UNC size are commonly used in machine assembly, equipment enclosures, fixtures, and general structural fastening where a low-profile, high-strength fastener is needed. The hex socket drive allows installation in confined spaces where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach. Fully threaded construction ensures maximum thread engagement across the entire length under head, which is useful in thin-material or close-tolerance assemblies. Mechanical contractors, millwrights, electricians securing enclosures, and HVAC technicians mounting components regularly use this fastener type.

Key Features

• 12-24 UNC thread size for standard inch-series fastening applications
• 3/4 inch length under head with full threading along the entire shank
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive for use in tight or recessed locations
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical property requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance appearance
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fastener for any application requiring a 12-24 UNC hex socket cap screw conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen wrench; do not use an undersized key as it may strip the socket. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before installation. Apply thread-locking compound or specified hardware torque procedures per the equipment manufacturer's service documentation. Alloy steel fasteners with black oxide finish are not rated for outdoor or high-humidity environments without additional corrosion protection.
