Value Collection 011083P Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011083P is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and machine components. It features an 8-32 UNC thread size with a 5/8 inch length under head and is fully threaded along its entire shank. The 9/64 inch hex drive socket accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench for installation in confined spaces where a traditional hex head wrench cannot reach. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener offers solid tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance for indoor and controlled-environment industrial use. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This screw suits applications in machine frames, jigs, fixtures, enclosures, and equipment housings where a low-profile, flush or recessed fastener head is required. The 8-32 UNC coarse thread pattern provides reliable engagement in tapped steel, aluminum, and thermoplastic components. The black oxide coating reduces galling and light surface oxidation, making it appropriate for interior mechanical assemblies and light manufacturing environments. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, ensuring dimensional and mechanical property consistency across production runs.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• 5/8 inch length under head — fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 9/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys in tight spaces
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish reduces galling and offers light corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to 8-32 UNC thread specifications in mechanical, industrial, and manufacturing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 9/64 inch hex key or T-handle Allen wrench. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling the alloy steel shank. Do not exceed the fastener design load — avoid impact driving, which can shear the socket head. This fastener is intended for dry or lightly oiled installations; consult thread-locking compound manufacturer guidelines before applying adhesives to black oxide coated fasteners.
