Value Collection 92040 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92040 is a hex socket cap screw designed for threaded fastening applications requiring a clean, low-profile head driven by an internal hex key. The screw features a 5/16-18 UNC thread size and a 3/4-inch length under the head. The drive type is hex with a 1/4-inch drive size. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance for use in environments where carbon steel would be unsuitable. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians commonly use socket cap screws when clearance prevents use of an external hex or socket driver.

This fastener is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and structural fastening tasks where a recessed-drive cap screw is required. The 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread pattern is widely used in standard American fastener applications. Common install scenarios include mounting brackets, machine components, panel assemblies, and mechanical enclosures across industrial, commercial, and trade-service environments. The minimum order quantity for this part is 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for standard American fastener compatibility
• 3/4-inch length under head for consistent thread engagement
• 1/4-inch internal hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Low-profile socket cap head suits tight-clearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-pattern hex socket cap screw for any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC threaded fastener with a 1/4-inch hex drive and 3/4-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/4-inch hex key or Allen driver sized to the socket. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut matches the 5/16-18 UNC thread specification before installation. Stainless steel fasteners can be prone to galling during installation — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum components. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the specific application.
