Value Collection 592099PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 5-40 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592099PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, low-profile fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and precision equipment. Sized at 5-40 UNC with a 3/32-inch hex drive and 3/16-inch length under head, this screw is fully threaded and manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), providing corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional and material standards. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this fastener where a recessed drive and compact head profile are required.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical and industrial applications where fine thread engagement and corrosion resistance are priorities. The 5-40 UNC thread size is common in instrument panels, small enclosures, electrical components, and precision assemblies. Fully threaded construction maximizes thread engagement across the full grip length, making it appropriate for thin-material fastening. This screw ships in multiples of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• 5-40 UNC thread for fine-pitch engagement in small mechanical assemblies
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex drivers
• 3/16-inch length under head suits thin-material and close-tolerance applications
• Fully threaded construction maximizes thread engagement
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (A2) resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use hex socket cap screw for applications requiring 5-40 UNC thread engagement and a 3/32-inch hex drive in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or assembly personnel using a 3/32-inch hex key or hex driver bit. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; the use of an appropriate anti-seize compound is a common field practice. Verify thread engagement depth meets application requirements before final assembly.
