Value Collection R57001005 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3-48 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001005 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. Sized at 3-48 UNC thread with a 3/16 inch length under head, this screw accepts a 5/64 inch hex (Allen) drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, making it suitable for applications where corrosion resistance and a clean appearance are required. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and trade professionals working on instrumentation, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies will find this fastener a standard fit for small-diameter threaded holes.

This screw is commonly used in light-duty mechanical and electrical applications where a compact, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed. The 3-48 UNC thread size is typical in instrument panels, small motor assemblies, electrical enclosures, and precision equipment. The 18-8 stainless steel construction handles exposure to moisture and mild chemicals without degrading, making it appropriate for both indoor mechanical service and environments with occasional humidity or chemical contact.

Key Features

• 3-48 UNC thread for precise engagement in small-diameter threaded holes
• 3/16 inch length under head suits shallow boss and panel fastening applications
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex keys
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without a coating
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerance and clean appearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fastener for any application requiring a 3-48 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 3/16 inch length under head in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/64 inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and properly tapped to 3-48 UNC specification before driving. Do not over-torque small-diameter screws, as stainless steel fasteners at this size are susceptible to galling and thread stripping. Power down or de-energize any equipment before installing or removing fasteners in electrical or instrumentation panels.
