Value Collection C32424362 Flat Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C32424362 is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a flush or countersunk head finish. It features an 82-degree flat head with a 3/16-inch hex socket drive and a 5/16-18 UNC thread form over an overall length of 1-1/2 inches. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this screw offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment fabrication where the fastener head must sit flush with or below the surface of the workpiece. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and pipefitters commonly install this type of hardware.

This screw is used in applications where a countersunk seating angle of 82 degrees is required. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, coastal, food-service, and other corrosive-environment installations. The UNC thread form is standard across a wide range of tapped holes in inch-measurement assemblies, including machine frames, enclosures, brackets, and structural panels. Sold in a package quantity of 5, this screw suits both small-batch assembly and field repair work.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head countersink angle for flush-mount installations
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with an Allen or hex key
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-measurement tapped holes
• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 grade
• 1-1/2-inch overall length suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• Packaged in a quantity of 5 for small-run assembly and repair use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC tapped hole with an 82-degree countersunk head seat.

Installation Notes

Install with a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen driver. Verify the mating hole is tapped to 5/16-18 UNC and countersunk to an 82-degree included angle before installation. In corrosive or submerged environments, avoid mixing 316 stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fasteners on live assemblies.
