Value Collection MP72096 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20 50pk

Product Description

The Value Collection MP72096 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in a wide range of industrial and trade applications. This fastener features a 1/4-20 UNC thread size, a 3/4-inch length under head, and a 3/16-inch hex drive. It is fully threaded along its shaft, maximizing thread engagement across the full clamping length. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers solid strength and basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered environments. Conforming to ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, it is appropriate for structural and mechanical assembly work across multiple trades.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and general fastening tasks encountered in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and industrial service work. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread specifications in North American trade, making this screw a standard fit for equipment panels, brackets, and component housings. Each package contains 50 screws, supporting job-site stock or bench inventory needs. The compact size and black oxide finish make it a practical choice for applications where a low-profile, recessed socket head is preferred over external-drive fasteners.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded shaft maximizes thread engagement across the full 3/4-inch grip length
• 3/16-inch internal hex drive accepts standard Allen or hex-key tooling
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical strength requirements
• Black oxide finish provides moderate oxidation resistance for indoor and sheltered use
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards for consistent fitment
• Sold in a 50-piece pack for efficient stocking and job-site use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or nut conforming to that thread specification in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, or plumbing equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; use a torque-rated driver where the assembly specification calls for controlled clamp load. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Black oxide fasteners are not rated for outdoor or high-moisture environments without additional corrosion protection. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant codes when fastening structural or pressure-bearing components.
