Value Collection 019081P 8-32 X 1/2 in Low Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 019081P is a low socket cap hex socket drive screw designed for applications where a reduced-profile head is required. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener measures 8-32 thread size at 1/2 inch in length, measured under the head. The fully threaded shank follows UNC coarse thread spacing and is driven with a 5/64 inch (0.0781 inch) hex key. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it suitable for precision assemblies, tooling fixtures, and mechanical enclosures. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.8 fastener standards. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians working with close-tolerance assemblies will find this screw appropriate for recessed or flush-mount fastening needs.

The 019081P is suited for use in machine assembly, tool and die work, jig and fixture construction, and general mechanical fabrication where a low-profile socket cap head is needed to clear adjacent components. The reduced head height compared to a standard socket cap screw makes it useful in tight-clearance panels, guards, and enclosures. This screw is sold individually but requires a minimum order of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production runs and shop-stock replenishment.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile for use in tight-clearance or recessed applications
• Fully threaded 8-32 UNC coarse thread along the entire shank length
• Alloy steel construction for strength in mechanical fastening applications
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• 5/64 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and L-wrenches
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.8 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or aftermarket replacement fastener for applications requiring an 8-32 UNC fully threaded low socket cap screw with a 5/64 inch hex drive, conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.8.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/64 inch hex key or T-handle driver. Ensure mating threads in the receiving hole are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten, as alloy steel screws in close-tolerance tapped holes can strip threads if torque is not controlled. Always confirm thread engagement depth is adequate for the application load requirements before finalizing the assembly.
