Value Collection C32424693 Flat Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C32424693 is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications where a flush or countersunk finish is required. This 1/4-20 UNC threaded fastener measures 3 inches in overall length and features a hex socket drive sized at 5/32 inches. The 82-degree flat head profile seats fully into standard countersunk holes, producing a surface-flush result. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making it well-suited for wet, chemical, or marine-adjacent environments. Installation requires a hex key or allen driver in the correct 5/32-inch size. This screw weighs approximately 0.18 pounds per piece.

This fastener is commonly used in HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture assemblies, pool and spa equipment enclosures, and electrical junction components where surface-flush fastening is needed. The 316 stainless steel material grade is particularly appropriate in corrosive or high-moisture environments such as pool mechanical rooms, outdoor electrical enclosures, and marine-adjacent service installations. It is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and pool service professionals working on equipment requiring flush-mount hardware. The UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile for countersunk, surface-flush installation
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes
• 3-inch overall length for deeper fastening applications
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application
• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC countersunk fastener in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or allen driver. Always power down or de-energize equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Ensure the receiving hole is properly countersunk to 82 degrees to achieve a flush seating surface. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes without appropriate anti-galling compound, as galling can occur.
