Value Collection MS16997-52 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MS16997-52 is a hex socket cap screw designed for reliable fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. It features a 10-24 UNC thread size with a 2-inch length under the head and is partially threaded for proper load distribution. Drive is a 5/32-inch hex socket. The screw is manufactured from 4037 alloy steel and finished with a yellow cadmium-plated coating that provides corrosion and wear resistance. It conforms to ASME B18.3 standards and is suited for applications where dimensional accuracy and material traceability are required. Installation is performed using standard hex key or Allen driver tooling.

This fastener is appropriate for use in industrial machinery, equipment frames, and precision assemblies where a socket cap screw profile is specified. The 10-24 UNC thread is a coarse unified thread series common in general mechanical and light structural applications. The partial threading engages the mating thread over an appropriate grip length, making it well suited for through-bolt and tapped-hole configurations. Trade professionals in manufacturing, maintenance, and mechanical contracting will find this screw compatible with standard socket drive tooling available in any field kit.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for standard coarse unified thread engagement
• 2-inch length under head with partial threading for proper grip
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and driver bits
• 4037 alloy steel construction for strength and durability
• Yellow cadmium-plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 fastener standard for dimensional compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use hex socket cap screw for any application specifying a 10-24 UNC partially threaded socket cap screw per ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical trades using a 5/32-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not exceed the torque rating for 10-24 alloy steel fasteners as specified in the applicable assembly documentation. Cadmium-plated fasteners should be handled in accordance with applicable safety guidelines due to the hazardous nature of cadmium compounds.
