Value Collection 592237PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 12-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592237PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in applications requiring a recessed-drive profile. The screw features a 12-24 UNC thread size with a 5/32 inch hex drive and is fully threaded along its 1/2 inch length under the head. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Austenitic Grade A2), it provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. This fastener is installed using a hex key or Allen wrench and is appropriate for use by millwrights, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and general mechanical trades.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrument mounting, panel fastening, and equipment fabrication where a low-profile socket head and stainless steel construction are required. The 12-24 UNC thread form is commonly encountered in machine components, enclosures, and light structural connections. The fully threaded configuration provides maximum thread engagement throughout the fastened joint, which is advantageous in thin-material applications and blind-hole installations.

Key Features

• 12-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread applications
• Fully threaded along entire 1/2 inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 5/32 inch hex (Allen) drive accepts standard hex keys
• 18-8 stainless steel construction, Austenitic Grade A2, for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating that could add dimensional variance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any application calling for a 12-24 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 1/2 inch length under head and 5/32 inch drive, conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32 inch hex key or T-handle Allen wrench; use of an incorrectly sized key can round the socket drive. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations inside enclosures or panels. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum mating materials. Torque to values specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable mechanical standards for the joint being assembled.
