Value Collection 872235PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872235PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a secure, flush or recessed fastener driven by an internal hex tool. This fully threaded fastener features a 5/16-24 UNF thread size and a 1-1/4 inch length under head, manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. It accepts a 1/4 inch hex drive and is built to ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, making it suitable for high-strength mechanical assemblies. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors use this style of fastener in panel mounting, equipment assembly, and structural connection work.

This screw is suited for use in light industrial, commercial, and residential mechanical applications where a strong, tamper-resistant fastening point is needed. The fine 24-pitch UNF thread provides greater tensile strength and better resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents. It is a fit-for-purpose replacement in any application calling for a 5/16-24 fully threaded socket cap screw of this drive size and length. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for high tensile strength and vibration resistance
• 1-1/4 inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum engagement
• 1/4 inch internal hex drive for use with standard hex keys or socket drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 high-strength fastener requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection for indoor and light-duty service environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.8 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-purpose fastener for any mechanical assembly specifying a 5/16-24 UNF fully threaded hex socket cap screw with a 1/4 inch drive and 1-1/4 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/4 inch hex key or hex socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the rated torque range for 5/16-24 alloy steel fasteners as specified by the applicable equipment or assembly documentation. Apply thread-locking compound where vibration resistance beyond the fine-thread profile is required by the job specification.
