Value Collection R03489026 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R03489026 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications requiring a recessed-drive, low-profile head. Threaded to 10-24 UNC standards, this screw measures 3/4 inches under the head and accepts a 5/32-inch hex key drive. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it provides solid corrosion resistance without sacrificing tensile strength. This type of fastener is commonly installed by machinists, pipefitters, electricians, and general trade professionals wherever a flush or semi-flush cap screw connection is needed in metal assemblies, junction boxes, or equipment panels.

This screw is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening in both residential and commercial trade settings. Typical applications include securing covers, brackets, and panels in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies. The 10-24 UNC thread form is a widely used coarse-pitch thread standard in North American trade work, making this screw compatible with a broad range of tapped holes and threaded inserts. The uncoated finish keeps the screw suitable for environments where contact with dissimilar metals or coatings must be avoided.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard North American tapped holes and inserts
• 3/4-inch length under head for consistent grip depth across standard panel and bracket thicknesses
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moist or chemically active environments
• Bright uncoated finish eliminates coating thickness variables in precision-fit applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 10-24 UNC thread specifications in trade and industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver; do not use an oversized driver as it will damage the socket. Torque to the fastener manufacturer's or equipment OEM's specification for 10-24 stainless steel hardware. When threading into aluminum or other soft metals, take care not to cross-thread or overtorque, as 18-8 stainless can gall under high rotational friction. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before servicing fasteners on live panels or enclosures.
