Value Collection R40691109 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40691109 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in close-clearance and precision assembly applications. Threaded 5/16-24 UNF with a 1-1/2 inch length under head, this screw accepts a 1/4 inch hex drive for installation with an Allen key or hex bit. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides solid corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals working on equipment, enclosures, or structural fixtures where a flush or low-profile fastener is required.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial settings. The UNF fine thread pitch provides stronger thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread, making it a preferred choice for tapped metal assemblies, machinery panels, and precision equipment where vibration resistance and holding strength are priorities. Installation in threaded metal or tapped holes is typical.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for strong thread engagement in metal assemblies
• 1-1/2 inch length under head for versatile depth fitment
• 1/4 inch hex drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Socket cap head profile for use in recessed or tight-clearance locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for any assembly requiring a 5/16-24 UNF hex socket cap screw with a 1-1/2 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/4 inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before threading to prevent cross-threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
