Value Collection 93123 Button Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93123 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head and secure hex-socket drive engagement. Sized at 5/16-18 thread with a 5/8-inch length under the head, this fastener is fully threaded and manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 3/16-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard ball-end or straight hex key. The low-domed button head reduces snag risk in assemblies where clearance is limited, and the 18-8 stainless construction provides solid corrosion resistance in moist or mildly corrosive environments.

This screw is suited for light to medium clamping applications in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, pool equipment housings, and general mechanical assemblies. The UNC thread form and Class 3A thread fit make it compatible with standard tapped holes across a wide range of trade and industrial applications. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Button head profile keeps fastener flush and low-profile in tight clearance assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments
• Fully threaded 5/16-18 UNC shank for consistent engagement in standard tapped holes
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen drivers
• Right-hand thread direction, Class 3A fit for reliable torque transfer and consistent seating
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and is suitable for visible assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC fully threaded button socket cap screw. Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards.

Installation Notes

Install with a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; do not use an impact driver at full power, as over-torquing can strip the socket or damage the stainless threads. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on electrical panels or enclosures. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling, which is a known risk with stainless fasteners. Anti-seize compound is recommended for stainless-to-stainless threaded connections.
