The Multiquip 46242 is a genuine OEM SHS CP Screw 5/16-24 X 1/4 designed for WSHE-A Series vibratory screeds. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this fastener meets the exact specifications required to maintain proper assembly integrity on your screed equipment. It is a direct, like-for-like replacement that installs without modification, keeping your screed performing as intended. Confirm your model against the WSHE-A Series fitment reference before ordering to ensure an exact match.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Fastener Spec: — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact thread pitch and head geometry, ensuring correct torque transfer and secure clamping without stripping or loosening under vibration.
- Drop-In Replacement: — Matches the original 5/16-24 thread specification and 1/4-inch length, so it seats and torques correctly in the existing tapped bore without rework.
- WSHE-A Series Fitment: — Confirmed for Multiquip WSHE-A Series vibratory screed equipment; always cross-reference part number 46242 against your machine's parts manual.
- Vibration-Resistant Retention: — In screed applications, loose or incorrect fasteners allow components to shift under continuous vibration, leading to misalignment and premature wear; the correct spec screw keeps assemblies locked and true.
- Structural Safety Compliance: — Using the correct fastener grade and thread form is critical in vibrating equipment where fastener failure can cause component separation during operation.
A socket head set screw of this type serves as a precision fastener used to lock or clamp components within the screed assembly, relying on its thread engagement and head drive interface to maintain clamping force under the continuous vibration loads generated during screeding. When a fastener of the wrong length, thread pitch, or head type is used, it can bottom out prematurely, under-clamp, or strip the receiving threads, causing components to work loose during operation. Replacing worn or damaged screws with the correct Multiquip 46242 restores the assembly to its original clamping specification and prevents progressive damage to surrounding components.
