It carries a 1\/4-20 UNC thread, a 2-3\/4 inch length under head, and is driven by a 3\/16 inch hex key. The fastener is manufactured from 4037 alloy steel and finished with a yellow cadmium plating that provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. It conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards, making it a reliable choice for applications where spec compliance matters. Licensed tradespeople and machine assemblers rely on this screw in structural and mechanical joints requiring controlled torque and a flush, low-profile head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cap screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance applications across industrial, commercial, and trade settings. The 1\/4-20 UNC threading is one of the most common inch-series thread forms, making this screw a frequent choice for bracketing, panel mounting, and general machine assembly. The ASME B18.3 standard governs dimensional tolerances, ensuring predictable fit when used as a direct replacement or new installation in compliant assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-20 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-3\/4 inch length under head for reach in deeper or stacked material applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartially threaded shank provides a bearing shoulder for shear-load applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4037 alloy steel construction for higher strength compared to standard low-carbon fasteners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYellow cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME B18.3 for dimensional accuracy and specification compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an ASME B18.3-compliant hex socket cap screw for use in any standard 1\/4-20 UNC tapped hole requiring a partially threaded alloy steel fastener.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a 3\/16 inch hex key or Allen driver; use a calibrated torque wrench when a specified torque value is required by the assembly drawing or equipment manual. Inspect the tapped hole for thread damage before installation. Do not substitute a metric hex key, as undersized drivers will round the socket. Follow applicable industry or equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the 1\/4-20 thread class in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-20 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4037\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yellow Cadmium Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.396 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MS16997-69\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716417454386,"sku":"MS16997-69","price":44.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d5a87df559821747724c65aca9d17329_accfced5-024c-4a25-8569-48ab66c6c809.jpg?v=1788525737","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ms16997-69-hex-socket-cap-screw-1-4-20","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
