Value Collection R57001007 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3-48 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001007 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact, low-profile head with internal hex drive engagement. This screw features a 3-48 UNC thread form, a 5/8 inch length under head, and a 5/64 inch hex drive size. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, making it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance and material compatibility are required. Electricians, mechanical contractors, and maintenance technicians commonly use fasteners of this type when assembling panels, brackets, enclosures, and small-bore mechanical components.

This cap screw is appropriate for light-duty precision fastening in both commercial and residential applications. The 3-48 UNC thread designation targets fine-thread engagement in thin materials or tapped holes where thread stripping risk must be minimized. Typical install scenarios include control panel assembly, instrument mounting, and small component attachment where torque control and a flush head profile are priorities. The 18-8 stainless steel construction suits indoor and mildly corrosive environments without the need for additional coating or treatment.

Key Features

• 3-48 UNC thread size for fine-thread engagement in small-bore tapped holes
• 5/8 inch length under head provides consistent grip depth for standard panel and bracket applications
• 5/64 inch internal hex drive allows torque application in confined spaces
• 18-8 stainless steel construction delivers corrosion resistance without surface coating
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency at the thread form

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or consumable fastener for applications requiring a 3-48 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 5/8 inch length under head in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/64 inch hex key or matching socket bit. Ensure the tapped hole thread form is clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading in fine-thread applications. Verify torque requirements for the assembly per applicable mechanical or electrical codes before final tightening. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing panels or enclosures where this fastener is being installed or replaced.
