This fastener features a 5\/16-24 UNF thread profile, a 2-inch length under the head, and a 1\/4-inch internal hex drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for use in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. Installers and maintenance technicians across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC trades reach for socket cap screws when clearance is tight and a hex key or Allen-style driver is the preferred tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for light to medium mechanical assemblies where a fine-thread fastener is required for precise clamping force and vibration resistance. The 5\/16-24 UNF fine thread pitch offers tighter thread engagement compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it appropriate for metal-to-metal connections in equipment panels, brackets, pump assemblies, and similar hardware applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for both indoor mechanical rooms and exposed outdoor installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-24 UNF fine thread for precise engagement and vibration-resistant clamping\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch internal hex drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecessed socket head allows flush or near-flush installation in counterbored holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware fastener for assemblies requiring a 5\/16-24 UNF hex socket cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a calibrated torque wrench or hex key to avoid stripping the socket drive or over-stressing the stainless steel shank. Power down or de-energize any equipment before disassembly or fastener replacement. Stainless steel fasteners can be prone to galling during installation — applying an anti-seize compound to the threads is a common field practice. Verify thread engagement depth in the receiving component before torquing to final specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-24 UNF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.051 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: R40691249\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723356995890,"sku":"R40691249","price":839.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/0c9a2a0009891924a2ca223b5da382b3_96aadf2c-c7d0-404d-a786-e3271bc57674.jpg?v=1788603824","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r40691249-hex-socket-cap-screw-5-16-24-unf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
