Value Collection 592243PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 12-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592243PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. It features a 12-24 UNC thread form with a 1-inch length under head and a 5/32-inch hex drive socket. The fastener is fully threaded along its entire length, providing consistent clamping force from head to tip. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), it offers solid corrosion resistance in moderate environments. This screw is installed using a standard hex key or Allen wrench and is suited for technicians and tradespeople working on equipment assemblies, enclosures, and mechanical fixtures.

This socket cap screw is used in a wide range of residential and light commercial applications where a low-profile, high-strength fastener is required. Typical install scenarios include panel assembly, bracket mounting, pump and motor component attachment, and equipment enclosure work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. The bright uncoated finish is appropriate for indoor and protected environments where the natural corrosion resistance of stainless steel is sufficient without additional coating.

Key Features

• 12-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread applications
• 1-inch length under head provides adequate grip for typical panel and bracket thicknesses
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full fastener length
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• 5/32-inch hex drive socket accepts standard Allen or hex key tools
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use hex socket cap screw for assemblies requiring a 12-24 UNC fully threaded fastener with a 5/32-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with fastener torque requirements for the specific assembly. De-energize and lock out all electrical or mechanical systems before accessing fastener locations on energized equipment. Use a correctly sized 5/32-inch hex key to avoid fastener head damage. Follow applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the assembly being serviced.
