Value Collection 872237PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872237PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. It features a 5/16-24 UNF thread size with a 1/4 inch hex drive socket and measures 1.5 inches in length under the head. The screw is fully threaded and constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish that provides basic corrosion resistance. It meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a reliable choice for precision applications where a controlled-torque, recessed-drive fastener is required. Installation professionals, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this type of fastener in equipment assembly, fixture mounting, and general mechanical work.

This cap screw is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and light mechanical applications requiring a fine-thread UNF fastener. The 5/16-24 UNF thread pitch offers higher thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread variants, making it appropriate for installations where vibration resistance or fine adjustment is a priority. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it practical for shop stock or production line use.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fully threaded alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• 1/4 inch hex drive socket for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex bit drivers
• 1.5 inches length under head for consistent grip in standard-depth applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical property standards
• Minimum order quantity of 100 units — well-suited for shop stock or production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-24 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and fixture applications requiring a fine-thread alloy steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation typically requires a 1/4 inch hex key (Allen wrench) or a compatible hex bit driver. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant engineering standards. Avoid cross-threading by hand-starting the screw straight before applying drive torque.
