Value Collection R40668148 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40668148 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive and a clean, low-profile head. Threaded at 10-24 UNC, it features a 1 inch length under the head and accepts a 5/32 inch hex key for installation. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. This screw is a standard choice for mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and light structural connections where a flush or countersunk socket head is required.

This cap screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical maintenance. The 10-24 UNC thread designation indicates a coarse-thread profile, which is well suited for tapping into aluminum, plastic, and mild steel components. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure. Technicians working on service panels, equipment frames, or access covers will find this screw appropriate for standard machine-thread fastening tasks.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is more common with stainless steel fasteners. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound if installation into stainless or aluminum threads is anticipated. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before performing fastener work on enclosures or panels.
