Value Collection 88546700 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546700 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive and a clean, low-profile head. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw offers moderate corrosion resistance and is well suited for interior mechanical assemblies, machinery, and equipment enclosures. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread designation, and the 3/16-inch hex drive allows for torque application with a standard Allen wrench or hex key. This package contains 13 screws, making it practical for small-batch service work or repair jobs requiring a handful of fasteners.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, pump and motor fastening, and general mechanical maintenance. The partially threaded shank provides a clamping grip useful in applications where the fastener passes through a clearance hole before threading into a tapped receiver. It is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals using standard hex key tooling.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC coarse-thread specification for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head with partial threading for secure clamping in through-bolt applications
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex key sets
• Alloy steel construction provides strength suitable for mechanical fastening under load
• Black oxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in enclosed assemblies
• Sold in a 13-piece package to cover small-quantity service and repair needs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application with a corresponding tapped hole or nut accepting a 1/4-20 coarse thread.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen wrench; avoid using power tools without a torque-limiting clutch to prevent thread stripping in softer base materials. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing or tightening fasteners on live assemblies per standard LOTO procedures. Ensure the receiving threads are clean and free of debris before driving the screw to full seating depth. Do not substitute this partially threaded screw in applications that require full thread engagement along the entire fastener length.
