Value Collection R48622384 Low Head Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622384 is a low head socket cap screw designed for applications where vertical clearance is limited and a standard-height cap screw will not fit. Threaded 1/4-20 UNC with a 1/2-inch length under head, this fastener is machined from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in wet, marine, or chemical-adjacent environments. The hex socket drive requires a 1/8-inch hex key for installation, allowing torque to be applied in tight spaces. Maintenance technicians, mechanical assemblers, and trade professionals working on equipment panels, enclosures, or structural brackets will encounter this screw in both commercial and light industrial applications.

This fastener fits applications where a low-profile head is needed to clear mating components, cover plates, or adjacent hardware. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common inch-series thread patterns, making this screw a direct replacement or upgrade in a wide range of assemblies across HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical systems. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor environments where mild to moderate corrosion exposure is a factor.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 1/8-inch hex key or matching hex bit driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before removing fasteners from live assemblies. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes without anti-seize compound, as galling can occur. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for the assembly being serviced.
