Holo-krome 68008 Low Socket Cap Screw 8-32 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 68008 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where clearance above the fastener head is limited. Threaded 8-32 UNC and measuring 3/4 inches in length under the head, this screw is fully threaded from tip to head. The low-profile head stands just 0.0850 inches tall and accepts a 5/64 inch hex key drive. Manufactured from alloy steel to ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, and finished in black oxide for corrosion resistance, this fastener is well suited for precision mechanical assemblies where standard socket cap screws would protrude too far.

This fastener is used in mechanical, industrial, and light structural applications where a flush or near-flush fastening profile is required. The 8-32 coarse thread pattern is common in equipment panels, machine guards, fixtures, and enclosures. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians regularly specify low socket cap screws in tight-tolerance assemblies where standard hex-head or button-head screws are not feasible. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and a clean, low-glare appearance suited to finished assemblies.

Key Features

• Low-profile head at 0.0850 inches tall for clearance-restricted installations
• Fully threaded 8-32 UNC coarse thread along the 3/4-inch length under head
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware component for any assembly requiring an 8-32 UNC fully threaded low socket cap screw per ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/64 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not exceed rated torque for 8-32 alloy steel fasteners as specified in ASME B18.3 guidelines. Inspect threads for damage before reuse in critical assemblies.
