Value Collection A997341 Socket Cap Screw 10-32 2.5 in Ss 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997341 is a 10-32 socket cap head machine screw designed for precision fastening applications where a low-profile, high-strength hex-socket drive is required. Manufactured from stainless steel and conforming to ASME B18.3 standards, this screw measures 2.5 inches in length under the head and is fully threaded from tip to head. The socket cap head accepts a standard hex key (Allen wrench) for installation and removal. This fastener is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and equipment fabricators working on machine assemblies, fixtures, and structural components requiring corrosion-resistant hardware.

This screw is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it suitable for small-volume service calls or bench stock replenishment. The 10-32 thread designation indicates a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form, which provides greater thread engagement and vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread equivalents. Full threading along the 2.5-inch shank allows maximum engagement across a wide range of material thicknesses and stacked assemblies.

Key Features

• ASME B18.3 compliant socket cap head geometry for consistent hex-key drive fit
• 10-32 UNF fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 2.5-inch length under head accommodates stacked or thicker material assemblies
• Sold in a 10-count package for convenient small-quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 socket cap head machine screw for use in any application requiring a 10-32 UNF thread fastener with a 2.5-inch length under the head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or socket driver matched to the cap head recess — using an undersized or worn key risks rounding out the drive socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. When used in structural or load-bearing assemblies, consult the equipment manufacturer torque specifications. Power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener service on electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies.
