Value Collection R48622310 Low Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622310 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a standard cap screw head height would interfere with surrounding components. Threaded 10-24 UNC and measuring 1/2 inch in length under head, this fastener is machined from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in a wide range of service environments. Drive engagement is through a 3/32 inch hex socket. The low-profile head reduces overall assembly clearance requirements without sacrificing the clamping force of a cap screw style fastener. Typical installers include mechanical contractors, HVAC technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals who encounter tight-clearance fastening situations.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies where standard hex socket cap screw head height is a constraint. Common applications include panel mounting, equipment enclosures, HVAC component brackets, and electrical sub-assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and moderately corrosive environments. The unified coarse (UNC) thread standard is the most common inch-series thread form used in North American mechanical trades, ensuring broad compatibility with standard 10-24 tapped holes.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces clearance requirements compared to standard socket cap screws
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moisture-exposed environments
• 3/32 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys or Allen drivers
• 10-24 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with widely available tapped holes and thread inserts
• 1/2 inch length measured under head suits thin-panel and shallow-boss fastening scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for any assembly using a 10-24 UNC tapped hole requiring a low-profile socket cap head style.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when torquing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes governing fastener selection for the specific assembly type.
