Holo-krome 780160025 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 780160025 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact, recessed-drive profile. Sized at 8-32 UNC with a 1/4-inch length under head and a 9/64-inch hex drive, this fastener is fully threaded from tip to head. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, providing corrosion resistance suitable for general mechanical, HVAC, electrical panel, and light industrial assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians reach for this fastener when a low-profile cap screw is needed in tight or recessed bores.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixture mounting, and general mechanical fabrication. The 8-32 UNC thread pitch is one of the most common fine-thread machine screw sizes in North American trade work. Its fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement in shallow or thin-material applications. The bright uncoated stainless finish makes it suitable for both indoor and mildly corrosive environments where zinc-plated fasteners would be inadequate.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size, fully threaded for maximum engagement in thin stock
• 1/4-inch length under head suits shallow-depth fastening applications
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without coatings
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards
• Bright uncoated finish maintains precise dimensional tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 compliant fastener with an 18-8 stainless steel material grade.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen-head bit driver. Always verify thread engagement depth before torquing to avoid stripping in thin or soft base materials. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer specifications and relevant codes when installing fasteners in electrical or mechanical assemblies.
