Holo-krome 79022 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf Stainless

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 79022 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel assemblies where a clean, recessed-drive fastener is required. It features a 10-32 UNF thread and a 5/8-inch length under the head, with full threading along the entire shank. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw resists corrosion in exposed or moisture-prone environments. The 5/32-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Compliance with ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 ensures dimensional accuracy and material consistency.

This screw is commonly used in light-gauge mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixture installations where a flush or low-profile fastener head is preferred. The fine 10-32 UNF thread pitch provides strong clamping force in thin materials and tapped metal components. The stainless steel construction makes it suitable for installations subject to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing services use these fasteners when assembling or servicing equipment that demands reliable, reusable threaded connections.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for strong engagement in tapped metal components
• 5/8-inch length under head with full threading along the entire shank
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Bright uncoated finish - no plating to flake or contaminate sensitive assemblies
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and bit drivers
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw with a 5/8-inch grip length. Suitable for use anywhere the ASME B18.3 socket cap screw standard is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or compatible Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling on stainless fasteners. Applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads is recommended when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications when tightening.
