Value Collection 88546486 Button Cap Screw 10-24 3/4in 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546486 is a 10-24 button socket cap screw designed for secure, low-profile fastening in mechanical assemblies and structural applications. Made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers hardness in the 36-43 HRC range for dependable clamping force in demanding environments. The hex socket drive accepts a 1/8-inch hex key for installation in tight spaces where a standard hex head would not fit. At 3/4 inches under-head length, this screw is sized for medium-depth fastening tasks. Licensed trades, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this type of fastener across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical hardware assemblies.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial applications requiring a flush, rounded head profile that minimizes snagging and interference with adjacent components. The Unified National Coarse thread standard and Thread Fit Class 3A provide consistent engagement and reliable torque retention. These screws are commonly used in equipment brackets, cover panels, and general mechanical hardware where alloy steel strength and a corrosion-inhibiting black oxide coating are specified. Each package contains 25 screws.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/8-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. De-energize any electrical equipment and follow applicable NFPA 70 or equipment manufacturer lockout/tagout procedures before servicing panels or enclosures secured by these screws. Do not exceed the designed thread engagement depth of the receiving material to avoid stripping the mating thread.
