Value Collection MS16997-46 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS16997-46 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade settings. Built from alloy steel grade 4037 and finished with a yellow cadmium plating, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. It features a 10-24 UNC thread size, a 3/4 inch length under head, and a 5/32 inch hex drive. It conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards. This screw is installed using a standard hex key or Allen wrench and is suited for machine assembly, equipment maintenance, and structural fastening tasks.

This cap screw is commonly used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a recessed-drive, high-strength fastener is required. The 10-24 UNC thread is a widely specified coarse thread size in North American mechanical applications. It is appropriate for use in ferrous and non-ferrous base materials across residential equipment, commercial machinery, and industrial fabrication contexts. The yellow cadmium finish provides added protection in environments with moderate exposure to moisture and mild chemicals.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form, fully threaded along the full 3/4 inch length under head
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive, compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel grade 4037 construction for strength and durability
• Yellow cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance in moderate-duty environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 fastener standard for dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 10-24 UNC fully threaded fastener with a 5/32 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a properly sized 5/32 inch hex key or Allen wrench to avoid rounding the drive socket. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners in live assemblies. Confirm thread engagement depth and substrate material before final torque to avoid stripping or cross-threading. Follow applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for 10-24 alloy steel fasteners.
