Holo-krome 73016 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1-72 Unf Alloy Steel

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 73016 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact, high-strength fastener. Threaded 1-72 UNF and measuring 3/8 inches in length under the head, this screw is fully threaded along its entire shaft. The 1/16-inch hex drive allows engagement with a standard hex key or Allen wrench in tight clearance areas. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it meets the ASME B18.3 dimensional standard and ASTM A574 mechanical property requirements. Licensed tradespeople and precision assembly technicians rely on this style of fastener where close-tolerance threaded connections are critical.

This screw suits small-scale mechanical assemblies, instrument enclosures, electrical panel components, and light-duty equipment where a #1-72 UNF thread is specified. The fine thread pitch provides strong clamping force in thin materials and allows precise torque control. The black oxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. This part is sold in a minimum order quantity of 5 units per order.

Key Features

• 1-72 UNF fully threaded shaft for high thread engagement in compact fastening applications
• 3/8-inch length under head suits thin-profile assemblies and shallow-clearance joints
• 1/16-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys in tight or recessed access areas
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical property requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance surface
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards for socket cap screws

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit fastener for any application specifying a 1-72 UNF hex socket cap screw per ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical assemblers, instrument technicians, or electricians using a calibrated hex key or torque-limiting driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened components. Use the correct 1/16-inch hex key to avoid rounding the socket drive on this small fastener. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidance and relevant codes such as NFPA 70 when installing in electrical enclosures.
