Holo-krome 72068 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 72068 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications requiring a low-profile, recessed-drive connection. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw features an 8-32 UNC thread and a 1.5 inches length under head. The 9/64 inches hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. It is partially threaded, making it suitable for clamping applications where thread engagement is needed only at the bearing surface. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this fastener in equipment, fixtures, and structural assemblies.

This cap screw is used in general industrial and mechanical assembly applications where a socket-drive fastener is required. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light glare on finished assemblies. Partially threaded shanks are preferred in applications joining two members where a smooth shank through the first member improves clamping force and alignment. This screw is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, packaged as a single unit quantity.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for standard inch-series mechanical assemblies
• 1.5 inches length under head, partially threaded for positive clamping
• 9/64 inches hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical strength requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and a matte appearance
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 socket cap screw dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw with 8-32 UNC threading, this fastener is compatible with any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 8-32 UNC specifications in inch-series mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 9/64 inches hex key or Allen-type driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Apply appropriate thread engagement depth per ASME guidelines for alloy steel fasteners in the base material. Do not exceed the rated torque range for the 8-32 thread size and alloy steel grade as specified in applicable mechanical standards.
