Holo-krome 72052 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc 1/4 in

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 72052 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where a low-profile, high-strength connection is required. Sized at 8-32 UNC thread with a 1/4 inch length under head, this screw is driven by a 9/64 inch hex socket key. It is machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection. Fully threaded along its length, the 72052 is well suited for close-tolerance assemblies in mechanical, industrial, and HVAC equipment manufacturing or repair contexts. Licensed mechanical contractors and maintenance technicians are the typical end users.

This screw is appropriate for light-gauge metal assemblies, machine frames, enclosures, and equipment panels where an 8-32 UNC threaded hole or insert is present. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement over the full 1/4 inch grip length. Its black oxide finish makes it a common choice in applications where bare zinc or bright finish hardware is undesirable. The 72052 meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards, confirming its suitability for industrial-grade fastening work.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size with 1/4 inch length under head for compact fastening
• 9/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement in thin material
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for its size class
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring an 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 1/4 inch length under head and 9/64 inch drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/64 inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole or insert is clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtorque — alloy steel socket cap screws at this size class are susceptible to thread stripping in softer base materials. Follow applicable mechanical assembly codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when specified.
