Value Collection R48622332 Low Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622332 is a low socket cap screw designed for fastening applications where head clearance is limited. It features a 1/4-20 UNC thread and a body length of 3/8 inches measured under the head. The drive is a 1/8-inch hex socket, requiring an Allen wrench or hex key for installation. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, outdoor, and mildly chemical environments. It is suited for mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, and equipment fabrication across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade applications where a low-profile head is required.

This screw is a practical choice in residential and light commercial settings where standard socket cap screws would protrude too far from the mating surface. The low-profile head reduces interference with adjacent components, covers, or panels. Installers working on equipment enclosures, brackets, junction boxes, and similar hardware will find this fastener useful when flush or near-flush head seating is needed. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile for use in tight-clearance fastening locations
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-system hardware
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 1/8-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex keys
• Length measured under head: 3/8 inches
• Minimum order quantity of 25 pieces ensures job-site stock availability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system low socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC threaded fastener with a low-profile hex socket head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/8-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when torqued aggressively without lubrication. A small amount of anti-seize compound is recommended when fastening into stainless or aluminum tapped holes.
