Holo-krome 780160150 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 780160150 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, electrical, and industrial assemblies. It features an 8-32 UNC thread size with a 1-1/2 inch length under head and a 9/64 inch hex drive. The fastener is partially threaded and manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. It conforms to ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it suitable for applications where dimensional consistency and corrosion resistance are required. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors install this type of fastener in equipment panels, motor mounts, and enclosure assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. The 8-32 UNC thread is common in electrical enclosures, control panels, HVAC equipment brackets, and instrumentation housings. The partial threading provides positive clamping force for joining metal components where the shank bears load in the clearance hole. The 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moderate-moisture environments, making it appropriate for indoor mechanical rooms and light outdoor installations.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread with 1-1/2 inch length under head for reliable clamping depth
• 9/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• Partially threaded shank distributes load and improves shear resistance
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moderate-moisture environments
• Bright uncoated finish meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-specification fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screws per ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical technicians, electricians, or millwrights using a 9/64 inch hex key or L-wrench. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes, as galling can occur without appropriate anti-seize compound. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly drawing or original equipment specification.
