Value Collection 011077P Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011077P is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications requiring a compact, high-strength connection in confined spaces. Threaded 8-32 UNC and measuring 1/4 inch in length under the head, this screw is fully threaded along its shank. Drive engagement is handled by a 9/64-inch hex socket. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance and surface hardness suited to demanding mechanical and industrial assembly work. This fastener conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, which govern dimensional and mechanical property requirements for socket cap screws. Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, machinists, or mechanical assemblers.

This screw is well-suited for general mechanical assemblies, machine component fastening, fixture building, and equipment maintenance applications. The 8-32 UNC thread size is common in light to medium-duty metalwork, electronics enclosures, and precision equipment. The black oxide finish makes it a practical choice where a low-reflectivity, dark appearance is preferred alongside moderate corrosion protection. The compact 1/4-inch under-head length fits shallow-clearance installations where longer fasteners would bottom out or cause interference.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread tapped holes
• 1/4-inch length under head for shallow-clearance fastening applications
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tools
• Fully threaded shank provides consistent thread engagement along the entire length
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical property requirements
• Black oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and low-reflectivity finish

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw replacement or new-installation fastener for mechanical assemblies, machine fixtures, and equipment requiring ASME/ANSI B18.3-compliant socket cap screws.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed using the correct 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket drive. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not over-torque; alloy steel cap screws at this diameter are subject to thread stripping if driven beyond appropriate torque limits for the 8-32 thread class. Follow applicable mechanical or equipment assembly specifications for final torque values.
