Value Collection MS16997-48 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS16997-48 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and industrial equipment. It features a 10-24 UNC thread form with a 1-inch length under head and a 5/32-inch hex drive. The fastener is manufactured from alloy steel grade 4037 and finished with a yellow cadmium plating that provides corrosion resistance. This screw is fully threaded from the head to the end of the shank. It conforms to ASME B18.3 standards and is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly professionals.

This screw is appropriate for general industrial and mechanical fastening where a compact, high-strength cap screw is required. The 10-24 UNC thread size suits light-duty machine components, instrument panels, electrical enclosures, and precision assemblies. The yellow cadmium finish makes it suitable for environments where mild corrosion resistance is a priority. It is used across manufacturing, MRO, and machine shop applications.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread form for standard machine screw applications
• 1-inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 5/32-inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen drivers
• Alloy steel grade 4037 construction for reliable tensile strength
• Yellow cadmium plating provides corrosion protection
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw compatible with any 10-24 UNC tapped hole in mechanical or industrial assemblies requiring a 1-inch fully threaded fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Always ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Follow torque guidelines from the assembly or equipment manufacturer for 10-24 UNC fasteners. When working with cadmium-plated fasteners, consult applicable safety guidelines for handling, as cadmium compounds require care in certain work environments.
