Value Collection 307074PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 307074PR is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw intended for precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. It features an 8-32 UNC thread size with a 1/2 inch length under head and is driven by a 1/8 inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it meets ASTM A574 standards, which specify mechanical requirements for high-strength socket cap screws. The black oxide finish provides a degree of corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. This fastener is suited for use by machinists, millwrights, equipment technicians, and maintenance professionals working on close-tolerance applications.

This screw is commonly used in light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, high-strength fastening solution is required. Typical applications include panel mounting, machine guards, tooling fixtures, and precision equipment enclosures. The 8-32 UNC thread is a fine-pitch unified thread standard frequently found in instrumentation, electrical enclosures, and small mechanical assemblies across industrial and commercial environments. The compact 1/8 inch drive size is compatible with standard hex key sets and Allen wrenches commonly found in any trade toolkit.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC fully threaded for consistent thread engagement along the full length
• 1/2 inch length under head suits shallow-depth fastening applications
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 high-strength socket cap screw standard
• Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and a low-glare finish
• 1/8 inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and Allen wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any threaded application requiring an ASTM A574-compliant alloy steel fastener with a 1/2 inch length under head and 1/8 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized 1/8 inch hex key or Allen wrench to avoid stripping the drive socket. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not exceed the torque capacity appropriate for 8-32 alloy steel fasteners as specified by the applicable equipment or assembly documentation. Follow all applicable safety and lockout/tagout procedures when working on energized or pressurized equipment.
