Value Collection MP72072 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP72072 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical assemblies, maintenance applications, and equipment fabrication. This fastener features a 10-24 UNC thread size and a 1/2-inch length under head, with full threading along its entire shank. The 5/32-inch hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench for installation in confined or recessed spaces. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, the MP72072 offers improved corrosion resistance and a clean, low-glare appearance. This package contains 50 pieces, making it well suited for production runs or stocking applications.

This screw is used in a wide range of commercial and industrial settings where a low-profile, high-torque fastener is needed. Common applications include machinery assembly, tooling fixtures, brackets, enclosures, and equipment repair. The 10-24 UNC thread is one of the most widely used unified coarse thread sizes in North American manufacturing and MRO environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors regularly use this size in both original build and field repair situations.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw conforming to ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574, suitable for use in any tapped or through-hole application requiring this thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen-drive bit. Always verify that the mating tapped hole meets the 10-24 UNC thread specification before installation. Do not over-torque alloy steel socket cap screws in thin or soft base materials, as thread stripping can occur. Ensure the work piece is properly secured and all relevant machine lockout procedures are followed before installing or removing fasteners in live equipment.
