Value Collection R63062288 Button Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63062288 is a button head socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile fastener with a hex socket drive. Sized at 5/16-18 UNC threading with a 1/2-inch length under head, this screw is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The button head profile reduces snag risk in assemblies where clearance is limited. Conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3, it meets the dimensional and mechanical standards expected in industrial and mechanical fastener applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this type of fastener across a wide range of equipment and structural assemblies.

This button socket cap screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in both indoor and outdoor environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides good resistance to rust and oxidation, making it appropriate for food service equipment, marine-adjacent applications, general fabrication, and machine assembly. The hex socket drive requires a 3/16-inch hex key for installation and removal.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides a low-profile, smooth top surface for clearance-sensitive assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction offers corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Hex socket drive (3/16-inch key required) allows high torque application in tight spaces
• 5/16-18 UNC thread with Class 3A fit for precise, secure engagement
• Right-hand thread direction, bright uncoated finish
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC button socket cap screw per ANSI/ASME B18.3, suitable for use in any application requiring this thread size, head type, and drive style.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen-style driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Avoid cross-threading by starting the screw by hand before applying torque. When used in structural or critical-load applications, consult applicable engineering standards for proper torque and preload requirements.
