Value Collection MP72102 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP72102 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in industrial and trade applications. It features a 1/4-20 UNC thread size with full threading along its 1-1/4 inch length under the head. The 3/16 inch hex drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener offers improved corrosion resistance and reduced surface glare in low-moisture environments. This screw meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and mechanical strength. It is sold in a pack of 50 and is suited for repeated use across maintenance and assembly tasks.

This fastener is commonly used in machinery assembly, structural brackets, tool fixtures, and mechanical equipment found across manufacturing, HVAC equipment framing, and general industrial service. The 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common unified coarse thread sizes in North American trade work, making it a standard keep-on-hand item for service technicians and maintenance crews. The black oxide alloy steel construction suits indoor or sheltered applications where moderate corrosion resistance is acceptable.
