Holo-krome 72060 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc Alloy Steel

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 72060 is a hex socket cap screw in 8-32 UNC thread size, manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish. It measures 0.75 inches in length under the head and is fully threaded along its entire shank. The hex socket drive requires an Allen or hex key for installation, making it well-suited for applications with limited wrench clearance. This fastener is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance technicians, electricians, and mechanical assemblers working in industrial, commercial, or equipment-service settings.

This screw is designed for general mechanical assembly and equipment maintenance applications where a compact, recessed-drive fastener is required. The fully threaded design maximizes thread engagement across the full 0.75-inch length, which is useful in thin or shallow tapped-hole assemblies. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it appropriate for both indoor mechanical assemblies and low-humidity environments.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form for standard inch-series tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank maximizes engagement in shallow bosses and thin stock
• Alloy steel construction provides higher tensile strength than standard steel fasteners
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and a low-glare appearance
• Hex socket drive allows installation in recessed or confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex socket cap screw compatible with any 8-32 UNC tapped hole in mechanical assemblies, panels, enclosures, or equipment frames requiring a recessed-drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriately sized hex key or Allen wrench to engage the socket drive. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling. Follow applicable torque guidelines for the 8-32 thread size and alloy steel grade per the relevant assembly specification or engineering standard. Avoid overtightening, which can strip the tapped hole or shear the fastener head in thin material.
