Value Collection 592235PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 12-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592235PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. It features a 12-24 UNC thread and measures 3/8 inches under the head, with a 5/32-inch hex drive for use with a standard hex key or Allen wrench. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive environments. It is fully threaded from head to tip, meeting ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards. Technicians, machinists, and field installers will find it suitable for general-purpose machine assembly, equipment maintenance, and panel fastening applications.

This screw is well-suited for use in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, pump assemblies, and general industrial machinery where a recessed-drive cap screw is required. The 12-24 UNC thread is a coarse-thread designation commonly found in light-duty machine fastening applications. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations subject to moisture exposure, including mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment, and outdoor enclosures. It is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-purpose fastener for applications requiring a 12-24 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 3/8-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Power down or de-energize any equipment before removing or replacing fasteners on electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable ASME and ANSI torque guidelines for 12-24 fasteners, and ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur without proper lubrication or anti-seize compound.
