10-24 x 1/4 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert supports compact internal-hex fastening where a backed-out screw would create a service problem. The pellet presses against the mating thread to provide prevailing torque without changing the socket head geometry.
In food-processing frames, sanitation-adjacent machinery, or equipment covers, the internal hex drive keeps installation compact while the insert adds thread-friction locking action. 18-8 stainless is a practical choice for ordinary moisture exposure, washdown-adjacent machinery, and equipment where a clean stainless finish is specified.
For rounded exposed heads with the same locking concept, review 18-8 Button Head Socket Cap Screws with Nylon Insert. Cold Headers supports industrial maintenance and OEM sourcing teams when difficult-to-find stainless socket products are specified. The 1960 Series name identifies the modern ASME B18.3 head-proportion standard for socket head cap screws, successor to the older 1936 series, not a year of manufacture.
