Value Collection MP72070 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP72070 is an alloy steel hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical, industrial, and trade assembly applications. Featuring a 10-24 UNC thread size and a 5/32-inch hex drive, it accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench for installation. The screw is fully threaded along its 3/8-inch length under head and is finished with a black oxide coating that provides mild corrosion resistance and a uniform matte appearance. Each package contains 50 screws. This fastener meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it suitable for structural and mechanical fastening where rated alloy steel hardware is required.

This screw is commonly used in machine assembly, equipment maintenance, panel mounting, and general mechanical fabrication. The 10-24 UNC thread is a widely used coarse thread size appropriate for tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and other metals. The compact 3/8-inch under-head length suits applications with shallow material depth or limited clearance. Mechanics, millwrights, electricians, and HVAC technicians frequently use socket cap screws of this type for equipment enclosures, brackets, and component mounting tasks.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for use in standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded along the 3/8-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 for high-strength fastener applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces glare
• Packaged in quantities of 50 for shop stock or service kit replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC fully threaded hex socket cap screw conforming to ASME B18.3 dimensions, suitable for any tapped or through-hole application calling for this thread size and drive type.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or ball-end Allen driver; ensure the mating hole is properly tapped to 10-24 UNC before installation. De-energize or lock out any equipment before fastening hardware in or near energized panels or mechanical assemblies. Do not over-drive: alloy socket cap screws require appropriate torque per published ASME fastener torque tables for the thread size and material. Inspect the black oxide finish before installation; do not use screws showing signs of corrosion or thread damage.
