Value Collection 701042PR Button Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 701042PR is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head and a secure hex-socket drive. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener measures 10-24 thread size with a 2-1/4 inch length under the head and is fully threaded. It meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards, with a hardness rating of 36-43 HRC. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it suitable for both structural and aesthetic fastening applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies.

This button socket cap screw is used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a rounded, low-profile head is preferred over a standard hex cap. Typical applications include machine guards, panels, enclosures, and equipment housings where head clearance is limited. It is installed in ferrous and non-ferrous components across manufacturing, maintenance, and fabrication environments. The UNC thread form and right-hand thread direction make it compatible with standard tapped holes and commercially available hex-socket tooling.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides a low-profile, rounded head for clearance-sensitive installations
• Alloy steel construction with 36-43 HRC hardness for reliable tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance
• 1/8 inch hex socket drive for standard Allen key or hex bit installation
• Fully threaded 10-24 UNC, right-hand, Class 3A thread fit for precision engagement
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC button socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to UNC Class 3A thread specifications in industrial and mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/8 inch hex key or hex socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener service on live assemblies. Do not exceed the rated torque range for a 10-24 alloy steel fastener as specified by the applicable mechanical standard for the joint design.
