Value Collection R40668124 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40668124 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in trade and industrial applications. This fastener features a 10-24 UNC thread and a 1.25-inch length under head, driven by a 5/32-inch hex key. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers reliable corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. The socket head design allows installation in recessed or close-clearance locations where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical contractors install this type of fastener when stainless durability is required alongside a low-profile head.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial applications. Typical uses include panel assembly, equipment mounting, enclosure fabrication, and fixture installation. The 10-24 UNC thread is a common size found across HVAC equipment housings, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture brackets, and general sheet-metal assemblies. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor, damp, or mildly corrosive service conditions where carbon steel fasteners would degrade prematurely.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in trade equipment
• 1.25-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 5/32-inch hex drive allows use with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp and outdoor environments
• Socket cap head enables installation in recessed or confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a 10-24 tapped hole and a 5/32-inch hex drive fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading the screw into a pre-tapped 10-24 UNC hole, then torquing to specification with a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Always ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened enclosures or panels. Avoid cross-threading by starting the screw by hand and confirming thread engagement before applying torque.
