Value Collection 592245PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592245PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, structural, and fabrication applications. Sized at 1/4-20 UNC with a 1/4 inch length under head, this fully threaded fastener accepts a 3/16 inch hex drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), offering solid corrosion resistance without a coating. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general fabricators install this type of fastener where a flush, recessed drive head and full thread engagement are required.

This cap screw fits residential, commercial, and industrial assembly work wherever a 1/4-20 UNC threaded fastener is called for. The bright, uncoated stainless finish suits environments where galvanic compatibility with stainless hardware is needed, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, and chemical-exposure environments. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread size — fully threaded for maximum engagement
• 1/4 inch length under head for compact, low-profile installations
• 3/16 inch hex (Allen) drive for standard hex key or socket tooling
• 18-8 stainless steel, Austenitic Grade A2 — corrosion-resistant, non-magnetic
• Bright/uncoated finish — no added coating that could affect dimensional tolerance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 compliant fasteners with 18-8 stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/16 inch hex key or appropriately sized hex socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloys are susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound when installing into stainless tapped holes if galling is a concern. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the relevant trade application.
