Value Collection R56000712 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000712 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require corrosion-resistant hardware. Sized at 10-24 UNC thread with a 1.25-inch length under head, it accepts a 5/32-inch hex drive. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this fastener resists rust, oxidation, and chemical exposure, making it suitable for wet, marine, or industrial environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trades use socket cap screws like this one to secure panels, brackets, and equipment components where a low-profile fastener with a recessed drive is required.

This fastener is appropriate for light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in both residential and commercial settings. Its 10-24 UNC thread is a common size found in control panel enclosures, equipment frames, and conduit fittings. The 316 stainless steel grade provides superior pitting and crevice corrosion resistance compared to 304, making it a preferred choice in coastal, chemical-processing, or high-humidity installations where fastener integrity is critical to long-term system performance.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion and chemical resistance
• 10-24 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 1.25-inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key sets
• Low-profile socket cap head allows installation in space-constrained locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical and trade assembly applications requiring a 5/32-inch hex drive and 316 stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver; ensure the drive tool is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding the socket. Verify the mating tapped hole is clean and thread condition is sound before installation. For electrical enclosures or live equipment, de-energize and follow applicable NFPA 70 lockout-tagout procedures before servicing fasteners. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments without accounting for galvanic compatibility.
