Value Collection SHB-1420-1-AS Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SHB-1420-1-AS is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-load fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. The fastener features a 1/4-20 UNC thread and measures 1 inch in length under the head. It is fully threaded along its entire shank, providing consistent thread engagement from head to tip. The screw is machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection. Installation requires a standard hex key or Allen driver. This type of fastener is commonly used by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working with steel structures, machine components, and general industrial assemblies.

This cap screw is suited for general mechanical and industrial applications where a low-profile, high-strength fastener is required. The socket drive design allows installation in tight clearance areas where a standard hex-head wrench cannot reach. The fully threaded configuration makes it particularly useful in through-hole applications and short-depth tapped blind holes. It is appropriate for use in both production and maintenance environments across manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, and electrical enclosure work.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1 inch length under head provides consistent engagement in typical fastener applications
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the entire fastener length
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile strength for demanding mechanical applications
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and a low-glare surface
• Hex socket drive allows installation in confined spaces with a standard Allen key

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to UNC 1/4-20 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket drive. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or thread-locking compound as required by the assembly specification. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer for the fastener grade and material combination in use.
