Value Collection MS16997-50 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS16997-50 is a hex socket cap screw designed for threaded fastening applications requiring a compact drive interface and reliable clamping force. This screw features a 10-24 UNC thread size, a 5/32-inch hex drive, and a 1-1/2-inch length under head with partial threading. It is manufactured from 4037 alloy steel and finished with a yellow cadmium-plated coating that provides corrosion resistance and identification clarity. It meets ASME B18.3 standards and is suited for precision mechanical assemblies, light industrial equipment, and maintenance applications where socket-drive access is required.

This cap screw is appropriate for use in general mechanical and industrial settings where 10-24 UNC threaded fasteners are specified. Its partial threading allows for shoulder-style clamping in assemblies where the unthreaded shank provides alignment or load-bearing function. Technicians and machinists working in equipment fabrication, maintenance, and repair will find this fastener consistent with standard inch-series socket screw specifications. The yellow cadmium finish aids visual differentiation in multi-fastener assemblies.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for standard inch-series threaded assemblies
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 1-1/2-inch length under head with partial threading
• 4037 alloy steel construction for durability under mechanical load
• Yellow cadmium-plated finish for corrosion resistance and visual identification
• Meets ASME B18.3 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 inch-series hex socket cap screw suitable for any application specifying a 10-24 UNC partially threaded socket cap screw with a 1-1/2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 5/32-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole meets 10-24 UNC tolerances before installation. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing fasteners in live equipment. Do not mix cadmium-plated fasteners with incompatible dissimilar metals in corrosive environments without engineering review.
