Value Collection 011121P Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011121P is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical, industrial, and light structural applications. Sized at 10-32 UNF with a 3/8 inch length under head, it is fully threaded and driven by a 5/32 inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish coating, this fastener delivers solid shear and tensile performance while the black oxide treatment provides a measure of corrosion resistance in low-moisture environments. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a code-consistent choice for precision assemblies where socket drive access is preferred over external hex configurations.

This screw is suited for use in machine assembly, equipment maintenance, tooling fixtures, and general mechanical construction. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch is a fine-thread designation commonly found in instrument panels, electronic enclosures, and light-duty mechanical subassemblies. The compact 3/8 inch under-head length makes it a practical choice for shallow-boss or close-clearance applications. These are sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order, making them well-suited for shop stock or bulk fastener inventories.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for secure engagement in precision tapped holes
• Fully threaded along the 3/8 inch under-head length for maximum thread engagement in thin materials
• 5/32 inch internal hex drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical property requirements
• Black oxide finish coating for surface protection and reduced light reflection
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any 10-32 UNF tapped hole requiring a socket cap screw per ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not exceed the rated torque range for a 10-32 alloy steel socket cap screw as specified by your applicable engineering or torque standard. Black oxide coatings offer limited corrosion resistance and are not intended as a substitute for plated or stainless finishes in wet or outdoor environments.
