Value Collection A997338 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997338 is a hex socket cap screw designed for mechanical fastening applications requiring reliable clamping strength in corrosion-resistant assemblies. The screw features a 10-24 UNC thread size and a 2.5-inch length under head with partial threading. Drive engagement is via a 5/32-inch hex socket, requiring an Allen key or hex bit driver. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), this screw resists rust and oxidation in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. Each package contains 10 screws. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals use this fastener in equipment panels, brackets, and structural assemblies.

This screw is suited for light to medium mechanical assembly work in commercial and industrial settings. The 10-24 UNC thread form is a standard coarse-thread size widely used in machine components, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixtures. Partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to act as a shoulder for alignment or pivot applications. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where moisture, cleaning agents, or outdoor exposure would corrode carbon steel hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening components inside electrical enclosures or control panels. Torque to the assembly specification provided by the equipment manufacturer.
