Value Collection 014059PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014059PS is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in applications where a standard slotted or Phillips drive is insufficient. The fastener features a 6-32 UNC thread and measures 5/8 inches under the head, with a 7/64 inch hex drive socket. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for wet, chemical-exposure, or marine environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment fabricators install this type of fastener using a standard hex key or Allen wrench in precision assemblies, enclosures, and machinery.

This cap screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, electrical enclosures, and equipment frames where a flush or low-profile socket-drive fastener is required. The 6-32 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread designation common in machine screws used across industrial, commercial, and light-duty fabrication work. The 316 stainless steel grade provides added resistance to chlorides compared to 304, making it a preferred choice in food service, marine, and chemical processing environments.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard machine screw tapped holes
• 5/8 inch length under head for appropriate engagement depth in typical light assemblies
• 7/64 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with a standard Allen key
• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Low-profile socket cap head allows installation in recessed or space-limited locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard machine screw replacement or new-installation fastener for any application requiring a 6-32 UNC hex socket cap screw in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/64 inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and properly formed to 6-32 UNC specification before driving. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling of the threads can occur; applying an anti-seize compound is common practice. Power down any equipment fully before accessing fastener locations on electrical or mechanical assemblies.
