Value Collection 837233PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 837233PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications across mechanical, industrial, and trade assembly work. Sized at 5/16-24 UNF with a 1-inch length under head, this screw is fully threaded and driven with a 1/4-inch hex key. The alloy steel construction delivers the tensile strength required for demanding fastener applications, while the zinc-plated finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for general service environments. Meeting ASTM B695 standards, this fastener is suited for professionals who need consistent, spec-compliant hardware. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This screw is appropriate for use in light machinery assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, panel fabrication, and general mechanical maintenance. The fine 24-thread-per-inch UNF pitch provides stronger thread engagement compared to coarse-thread fasteners of the same diameter, making it a preferred choice when vibration resistance or tighter tolerances are required. The 1/4-inch hex drive allows installation in confined spaces where a standard socket or open-end wrench cannot reach. Suitable for residential and commercial applications requiring a compact, high-strength cap screw.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for strong thread engagement and vibration resistance
• 1 inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum grip over entire shaft
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive for use in confined or recessed fastening locations
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding assemblies
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in general service conditions
• Meets ASTM B695 fastener standard for consistent dimensional and material compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF hex socket cap screw compatible with any 5/16-24 threaded hole requiring a 1-inch-under-head fully threaded fastener driven by a 1/4-inch hex key.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, or electricians using a 1/4-inch hex key or Allen driver bit. Always confirm thread engagement depth and ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is rated for the same UNF pitch before torquing. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Do not overtighten; follow the equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the joint being assembled.
