Value Collection R40668434 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40668434 is a hex socket cap screw designed for threaded fastening applications requiring a compact, recessed drive profile. The screw uses a 10-24 UNC thread form and accepts a 5/32-inch hex key for installation and removal. With a 3/4-inch length under head, this fastener suits close-tolerance assemblies where a standard external-hex head would interfere. The body is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for wet or chemically active environments. Technicians and machinists select this size when space constraints rule out hex head or Phillips drive fasteners.

This screw is used across a broad range of light mechanical, HVAC panel, electrical enclosure, and plumbing fixture assembly applications. The 10-24 UNC thread is a common size in both OEM equipment and field-fabricated assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor environments where mild corrosion resistance is required. It is typically installed by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, or machinists during assembly or service work.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC thread for wide compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or allen-head drivers
• 3/4-inch length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or harsh environments
• Low-profile socket head allows installation in recessed or space-constrained locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application with a matching 10-24 threaded hole or nut.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or driver bit. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut matches the 10-24 UNC thread specification before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the rated tightening torque for 18-8 stainless steel fasteners at this diameter, as over-torquing can cause galling or thread damage. Stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling — applying a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads before installation is standard practice.
