Holo-krome 790190175 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 790190175 is a hex socket cap screw engineered for precision fastening in mechanical, industrial, and trade applications. It features a 10-32 UNF thread size and a 1-3/4 inch length under head with partial threading. The drive is a 5/32 inch internal hex, requiring an Allen key or hex bit driver for installation and removal. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in moderately demanding environments. It conforms to ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it a specification-grade fastener suited for assemblies where dimensional accuracy and material consistency matter.

This screw is used across a wide range of applications including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, pump housings, and general mechanical assemblies. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-thread unified national form, commonly found in precision equipment and sheet metal assemblies where vibration resistance or close thread engagement is required. Partial threading allows for clamping force between fastened materials. Trade professionals including millwrights, HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers use this type of fastener when replacing or assembling equipment that calls for stainless, socket-drive cap screws in this size range.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for precise thread engagement and vibration resistance
• 1-3/4 inch length under head with partial threading for effective clamping
• 5/32 inch internal hex drive for torque control with standard Allen tools
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in moisture-prone environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating variables that affect thread fit or dimensional tolerances
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a specification-grade replacement or service fastener for any assembly requiring a 10-32 UNF partially threaded hex socket cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel conforming to ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32 inch hex key or hex bit driver; use a calibrated torque tool when the assembly specifies a torque value for 10-32 fasteners. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to prevent galling, which is a known risk with stainless steel fasteners. Do not use impact drivers on fine-thread stainless fasteners, as thread stripping and galling are likely. Follow the equipment manufacturer's fastener specifications and any applicable industry codes for the assembly being serviced.
