Value Collection R48622398 Low Head Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622398 is a low head socket cap screw designed for applications where standard-profile cap screws create clearance problems. Built to inch-series dimensions with a 1/4-20 UNC thread and a 3/4-inch length under the head, this fastener features a hex socket drive that accepts a 1/8-inch hex key. The body is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, giving it solid corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. The reduced head height makes it a practical choice when bolt heads must sit flush or near-flush in shallow counterbores or thin-material assemblies.

This screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, panel mounting, and precision machinery where standard socket cap screws protrude too far. Trades and manufacturing environments that work with stainless hardware in food-service, marine, HVAC, or plumbing applications will find this fastener appropriate for moderate-load, low-clearance fastening needs. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common inch-series thread pitches, simplifying sourcing and tooling across shops. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Low-profile head design allows installation in shallow counterbores and tight clearance zones
• 1/4-20 UNC thread — common inch-series pitch compatible with standard tapped holes
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and exposed environments
• Hex socket drive accepts a 1/8-inch hex key for precise torque application in confined spaces
• 3/4-inch length under head suits thin-to-moderate material stack assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC low head socket cap screw with an 18-8 stainless steel body and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 1/8-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and thread engagement is adequate for the load before final torque. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to prevent galling during installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live systems.
