Value Collection MP72276 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/8-11 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP72276 is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and maintenance environments. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw measures 2-1/2 inches in length under the head and features a 5/8-11 UNC thread form with partial threading. The 1/2 inch hex drive allows engagement with standard hex keys and socket drivers. Sold in a pack of 5, this fastener meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it suitable for demanding structural and machine assembly work. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical end users.

This screw is well suited for medium-to-heavy machine assembly, equipment mounting, and structural fastening tasks where a recessed drive head is required for flush or countersunk installations. The 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread profile provides reliable engagement in steel and iron tapped holes commonly found in industrial machinery, frames, and fixtures. The black oxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces galling during installation in ferrous metal applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped 5/8-11 UNC hole in industrial machinery, structural steel assemblies, and general mechanical equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 1/2 inch hex key or socket drive tool. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening components in place. Do not exceed the rated drive engagement depth or apply side-loading to the hex socket drive during installation.
