Value Collection 872101PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872101PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in assemblies requiring controlled torque and a recessed drive. The fastener features a 10-24 UNC thread form and measures 3/8 inches in length under the head. Drive engagement is accomplished with a 5/32-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel and finished with a zinc-plated coating for corrosion resistance, this screw is fully threaded from tip to head. It meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assembly professionals install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

This screw is suited for use in tight-clearance assemblies where a flush or low-profile cap head is required and a standard hex drive would not fit. Fully threaded along its 3/8-inch shank, it provides maximum thread engagement in thin materials or shallow tapped holes. Typical applications include machine frames, fixtures, jigs, enclosures, and equipment panels where alloy steel strength and a zinc finish are appropriate for the service environment. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order, with a package quantity of 1 unit per package as supplied.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread tapped holes
• 3/8-inch length under head with full threading along the entire shank
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry or mildly humid environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.8 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.8 hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped or threaded assembly calling for a 10-24 UNC fully threaded fastener with a hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver; ensure the drive tool is fully seated before applying torque to avoid cam-out or socket damage. Verify the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the screw. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer or governing specification. Alloy steel fasteners of this type are not rated for prolonged immersion or highly corrosive environments without additional protective measures.
