Value Collection 581188PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 5-44 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 581188PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact, high-strength threaded connection. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards. The 5-44 UNF thread provides fine-pitch engagement suited to thin-section or close-tolerance assemblies. The 3/32 inch hex drive allows use with standard allen keys or hex bit drivers in confined spaces. This screw is commonly installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working on equipment sub-assemblies, fixtures, and precision components.

This fastener is suited for applications where fine unified thread engagement is required in alloy steel construction. The fully threaded shank along the 5/8 inch length under head maximizes thread engagement in shallow or thin tapped holes. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it appropriate for both functional and low-visibility mechanical assemblies. Typical use cases include small equipment enclosures, instrumentation mounting, and mechanical sub-assemblies found in HVAC, electrical, and industrial service environments.

Key Features

• 5-44 UNF fine-pitch thread for precise, high-engagement fastening in close-tolerance applications
• Fully threaded shank along entire 5/8 inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 for high tensile strength requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectivity appearance
• 3/32 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use hex socket cap screw for assemblies requiring a 5-44 UNF threaded fastener with a 3/32 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician using a properly sized 3/32 inch hex key or allen bit driver to avoid rounding the drive socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for the thread size and material of the mating component. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and equipment manufacturer specifications when installing fasteners in safety-critical assemblies.
