Value Collection 011081P Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011081P is an 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw engineered for secure, high-strength fastening in tight-clearance applications. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance appearance suitable for precision assemblies. The 9/64 inch hex drive and 0.5 inch length under head make it compatible with standard Allen-key tooling and appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance expected by trade professionals.

This fastener is used in equipment fabrication, machine assembly, jig and fixture construction, and general industrial maintenance. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common coarse-pitch size found in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. Full threading along the shank length maximizes thread engagement across the full 0.5 inch length under head, which is useful when fastening into shallow tapped holes or thin material.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes in sheet metal and machined components
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement over the entire 0.5 inch length under head
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical strength requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance surface
• 9/64 inch hex drive accepts standard Allen wrenches and hex-bit drivers
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fastener for applications requiring an 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 0.5 inch length under head, conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/64 inch hex key or Allen-bit driver; avoid impact drivers that may strip the hex socket or over-torque the fastener. Ensure the receiving thread is clean, properly tapped to 8-32 UNC, and free of debris before driving. De-energize any equipment fully before accessing panels or enclosures where these screws are used. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant codes such as NFPA 70 or equipment-specific service manuals.
