10-24 x 3/8 18-8 Stainless Steel Button Head Socket Cap Screw with Nylon Insert brings stainless material and a nylon locking pellet to equipment that sees ordinary moisture or cleaning. The nylon pellet presses against the mating thread for prevailing torque without changing the head geometry.
The rounded button head can reduce exposed edges, spread bearing load over a broader face, and avoid counterbore machining when the assembly accepts a raised dome. In food equipment panels, washdown covers, or stainless frame hardware, the internal hex drive supports top-side installation while the rounded head reduces surface projection.
Slight magnetism from cold working can be normal for 18-8 stainless, so final selection should reflect the mating parts and environmental exposure. If strength matters more than stainless material, Alloy Steel Button Head Socket Cap Screws with Nylon Insert may be the better route. Cold Headers installs the locking pellet in-house for supported socket-cap sizes, with odd-size requests handled through quoting.
