Holo-krome 730000698 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 730000698 is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a clean, recessed-drive fastener in tight or flush-mount installations. It features a 10-32 UNF thread, a 5/16-inch length under head, and a 5/32-inch hex drive. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw delivers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance suited to industrial and mechanical assembly work. It is fully threaded from the drive end to the head, making it appropriate for through-hole and shallow-depth fastening where full thread engagement is required. Licensed trade mechanics and assembly technicians are the typical installers.

This cap screw is commonly used in light machinery, HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical panel subassemblies, pump housings, and other mechanical systems where a low-profile, socket-drive fastener is preferred over external-hex styles. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-pitch designation well suited to metal-to-metal fastening in thin or medium-gauge steel and aluminum components. The black oxide coating provides mild oxidation resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine-pitch thread for reliable metal-to-metal engagement
• Fully threaded shank along the 5/16-inch length under head
• 5/32-inch internal hex drive accepts standard Allen or hex-key tooling
• Alloy steel construction for elevated tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish provides basic corrosion and glare resistance
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.3 or ASTM A574 compliant alloy steel socket cap fastener with a 5/16-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated hex key or Allen driver sized to 5/32 inch. Ensure threaded receiver holes are clean, properly tapped to 10-32 UNF, and free of debris before driving. Do not over-torque alloy steel screws in softer base materials such as aluminum. Follow applicable mechanical or equipment manufacturer specifications for required fastener torque values.
