Holo-krome 780160250 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 780160250 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw measures 2.5 inches in length under the head and accepts a 9/64-inch hex drive. It features partial threading along the shank. The fastener conforms to ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it a dependable choice for mechanical assemblies where material grade and dimensional accuracy matter. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with stainless-rated equipment will find this screw suited to their torque and corrosion requirements.

This screw is well suited for use in light industrial, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure assembly, and plumbing or process equipment where moisture exposure demands stainless hardware. Its 8-32 UNC thread size fits standard tapped holes in sheet metal and machined components. The partial threading provides improved clamp load on thick workpieces where full threading would not engage the nut or tapped hole effectively. Installers typically deploy these in panel assemblies, bracket mounting, and component attachment across residential and light commercial systems.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 2.5-inch length under head accommodates thicker stack-ups and spacers
• Partially threaded shank improves clamping force on solid workpieces
• 9/64-inch hex drive for standard allen key or hex bit installation
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy for precision fits
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.3-compliant partially threaded stainless fastener with a 9/64-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated hex key or socket bit sized to 9/64 inch. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut meets 8-32 UNC thread specification before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing internal fastener points on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Avoid cross-threading by starting the screw by hand and confirming engagement before applying torque.
