Value Collection R40691144 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40691144 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a low-profile head and internal hex drive access. This screw features a 5/16-24 UNF thread form, a 1 inch length under the head, and a 1/4 inch hex drive socket. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. Installed with a hex key or Allen-type driver, it is a standard choice for maintenance mechanics, millwrights, and field technicians working on equipment assemblies, brackets, and mechanical enclosures.

This socket cap screw is suited for light industrial and commercial maintenance applications where a strong, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed in tight or recessed clearances. The unified fine thread (UNF) pitch provides greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse thread, making it appropriate for metal-to-metal assemblies where vibration resistance and precise clamping force matter. Typical uses include machinery frames, panel mounting, and equipment repair across manufacturing, HVAC, and plumbing service contexts.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF thread for increased thread engagement and vibration resistance in metal assemblies
• 1/4 inch internal hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 1 inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening in brackets, frames, and enclosures
• Low-profile socket head allows installation in recessed or clearance-limited locations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for any assembly requiring a 5/16-24 UNF hex socket cap screw with a 1 inch length under head and 1/4 inch drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/4 inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten into aluminum or soft-metal tapped holes, as 18-8 stainless can gall against dissimilar metals. Follow applicable torque guidelines for 5/16-24 UNF fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer.
