Value Collection 063061PS Flat Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 063061PS is a flat socket cap screw designed for threaded fastening applications where a flush or countersunk finish is required. This screw features an 82-degree flat head with a 5/32-inch hex socket drive, machined from 316 stainless steel for strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, or chemical-exposure environments. The unified fine thread (UNF) pitch of 10-32 provides a tighter thread engagement than coarse equivalents, making it suitable for precision assemblies, thin-material applications, and vibration-prone installations. Tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and fabricators use this fastener where a low-profile head seating flush with the mating surface is needed.

This flat socket cap screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture brackets, electrical enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it particularly well suited for coastal, outdoor, pool, and chemical-processing environments where standard carbon steel or 18-8 stainless fasteners may corrode prematurely. The hex socket drive allows installation with a standard hex key or Allen driver in confined spaces where an open wrench cannot be used.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes for a low-profile finish
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with common Allen or hex key sets
• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance in marine and chemical environments
• 10-32 UNF thread standard for tighter engagement and precision fit
• 1-1/4-inch overall length suits a range of panel and bracket thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNF flat socket cap screw compatible with any 10-32 threaded hole or insert requiring an 82-degree countersunk flat head seating surface.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver; ensure the mating hole is countersunk to 82 degrees for proper head seating. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the 316 stainless alloy, which is lower than alloy steel equivalents — avoid using impact drivers at high settings. Confirm thread engagement depth is adequate in the mating material before applying final torque. Always inspect threads for galling, which can occur with stainless fasteners; consider applying an anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum.
