Value Collection 011079P Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011079P is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical assemblies. It features an 8-32 UNC thread and a 9/16-inch hex socket drive that accepts a 9/64-inch hex key. The 3/8-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance applications where space is limited. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, the fastener delivers solid tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance in indoor and controlled-environment installations. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this fastener in machinery, fixtures, and equipment enclosures.

This screw is suited for light machinery, electronic enclosures, jigs, and general industrial or OEM assembly work where an 8-32 UNC thread pitch is specified. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 3/8-inch under-head length, making it practical for thin-material and blind-hole applications. Sold in multiples, it is appropriate for production and maintenance environments that require consistent, standardized hardware.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse thread tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement over the 3/8-inch under-head length
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive allows torquing with a standard Allen or hex key
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength relative to standard steel fasteners
• Black oxide finish adds mild corrosion resistance and reduces light glare in precision assemblies
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards for dimensional and mechanical conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to the 8-32 UNC thread specification per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Verify the receiving hole is properly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving the fastener. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing internal fastener points. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for the thread size and material combination as specified in the applicable equipment service documentation.
