Value Collection -92050-1 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -92050-1 is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a secure, low-profile fastener with a recessed drive. Sized at 5/16-24 UNF with a 1 inch length under head, this screw accepts a 1/4 inch hex (Allen) key drive for installation. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Each package contains 25 screws. This fastener is installed by mechanical and maintenance technicians across a broad range of assembly, fabrication, and service applications.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and light structural fastening tasks. The fine 5/16-24 UNF thread pitch offers greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread equivalents, making it appropriate for applications where vibration resistance or precise torque control is needed. The recessed hex drive reduces the risk of slippage during installation. Typical environments include industrial machinery, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, and enclosure assembly.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for improved vibration resistance and precise torque control
• 1 inch length under head for standard-depth fastening applications
• 1/4 inch hex socket drive reduces cam-out risk during installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or exposed environments
• Sold in a 25-piece package for bench stock or service kit replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-24 UNF hex socket cap screw compatible with any tapped hole or threaded insert meeting 5/16-24 UNF specifications per ASME B1.1 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/4 inch hex key or Allen driver; a T-handle or torque wrench with hex bit is recommended for consistent seating. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless threads, apply an anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
