Value Collection R57001029 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001029 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications requiring a low-profile, recessed-drive fastener. This screw features a 10-24 UNC thread size and measures 3.5 inches under the head, making it suitable for moderate-depth fastening tasks. The 5/32 inch hex socket drive requires an Allen key or hex bit driver for installation and removal. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers good corrosion resistance in general-purpose environments. It is a standard catalog fastener used across maintenance, repair, and fabrication applications by machinists, millwrights, and general tradespeople.

This screw is appropriate for use in light industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly settings where a socket-drive cap screw is specified. The 10-24 UNC thread form is a coarse thread standard, making it compatible with most standard 10-24 threaded holes and inserts. The 3.5 inch length under head allows engagement through thicker material sections or stacked components. Its stainless steel construction makes it a reasonable choice in mildly corrosive or outdoor environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade faster.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard threaded holes and inserts
• 3.5 inch length under head for use in deeper or stacked-material applications
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive — requires Allen key or hex bit driver
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating that could affect thread tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or general-use fastener for any application specifying a 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 3.5 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32 inch hex key or hex bit driver rated for socket cap screws. Ensure the mating threaded hole or insert is clean and properly tapped to 10-24 UNC specification before driving the screw. Torque to the value specified by the assembly drawing or engineering specification for the application — do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur. Follow applicable mechanical codes and manufacturer guidelines for the equipment being serviced.
