Armor Coat UST235895 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235895 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a low-profile, internally driven head. Manufactured from alloy steel with an Armor Coat finish coating for corrosion resistance, this fastener features an 8-32 UNC thread and measures 3/4 inches in length under the head. The 9/64-inch hex drive allows for high torque application in confined spaces. It is fully threaded along its length, conforming to ASME B18.3 standards. This screw is commonly installed by mechanical contractors, HVAC technicians, electricians, and equipment service professionals in equipment assembly, panel mounting, and component securing tasks.

This fastener is suited for use in light to medium-duty industrial and commercial applications where a socket-drive cap screw is required. The 8-32 UNC coarse-thread profile is a common specification in electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, control panels, and mechanical equipment assemblies. Its compact 3/4-inch length under the head makes it appropriate for thin-material and close-clearance installations. This item is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or T-handle driver. Verify thread engagement and mating material before installation to avoid cross-threading or stripping. Power down or de-energize any electrical or mechanical equipment before accessing fastened assemblies. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant codes for the system being serviced.
