Value Collection R56000488 Hex Socket Cap Screw 2-56 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000488 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and precise thread engagement. Sized at 2-56 UNC with a 1/4 inch length under head, this screw accepts a 5/64 inch hex drive. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, it delivers strong resistance to moisture, chemicals, and oxidation. The socket cap head style allows installation in tight spaces where a standard wrench cannot reach. This fastener is suited for maintenance technicians, machine builders, and fabricators working in corrosive or wash-down environments.

This screw is commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, instrumentation enclosures, and equipment panels where small-diameter fine-thread fasteners are required. The 2-56 UNC thread is a standard designation in precision assemblies, making this screw appropriate for use in electrical enclosures, HVAC controls, and similar hardware applications. Installation is performed with a standard 5/64 inch hex key or Allen driver.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• 2-56 UNC thread for fine-pitch, secure engagement in precision assemblies
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and bit drivers
• 1/4 inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening applications
• Socket cap head profile allows access in confined or recessed mounting locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/4 inch length under head fastener with a 5/64 inch hex drive in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/64 inch hex key or compatible socket bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the fastener design load by over-torquing small-diameter screws, as 2-56 UNC fasteners have limited tensile capacity. Consult applicable mechanical or equipment codes for torque and thread engagement requirements specific to the assembly.
