Value Collection -33588-2 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -33588-2 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. Sized at 8-32 UNC with a 1.75-inch length under head, this fastener is driven by a 9/64-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance in controlled environments. This is a pack of 50 screws, suited for shop stock or job-lot purchasing. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for general industrial and mechanical fastening applications.

This screw is used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where a socket-drive fastener is required in a flush or recessed configuration. The partial threading pattern allows for clamping force across unthreaded material before engaging threaded sections. Common install scenarios include machine frames, fixtures, enclosures, and equipment panels. Trades and technicians working in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical service will find this fastener suitable for standard applications requiring an 8-32 thread pitch.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size with 1.75-inch length under head
• Partially threaded shank for improved clamping performance
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive for standard Allen key or hex bit installation
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 tensile strength requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC partially threaded hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3-compliant fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/64-inch hex key or compatible hex bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Follow applicable torque guidelines per ASME standards for the 8-32 thread class and material being fastened. Do not overtighten, as alloy steel screws in soft substrate materials may strip or damage the receiving thread.
