Value Collection 015079PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 015079PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a compact, high-strength mechanical connection. It features an 8-32 UNC thread and measures 3/8 inches in length under the head. The screw is fully threaded along its shaft and driven with a 9/64-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it resists corrosion and surface wear in demanding service environments. This fastener is used by machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general trade professionals wherever a socket-head cap screw is called for in a standard inch-series application.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, enclosures, and fixtures where a recessed drive head is needed to clear surrounding components. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common inch-series coarse thread used across a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. Its black oxide finish makes it appropriate for both indoor and exposed indoor environments where mild corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Fully threaded shaft provides maximum thread engagement across the full 3/8-inch length under head
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive allows use of standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile strength relative to fastener size
• Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, and IFI 124 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring an 8-32 UNC tapped hole and a socket-head cap screw per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen-head bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Apply consistent torque per your assembly specification; do not overtighten alloy socket screws in aluminum or plastic mating materials. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for torque and thread engagement depth.
