Value Collection 3SSC010F0008 Hex Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SSC010F0008 is a 10-32 x 1/2-inch hex head machine screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a hex drive and no washer. It is threaded to the Unified National Fine (UNF) standard and is sold uncoated, leaving the base stainless finish exposed for corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light outdoor applications. The 1/2-inch dimension is measured as length under head. These screws are used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople wherever a small-diameter UNF fastener is required in sheet metal, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, or mechanical assemblies. Minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade work. Common applications include securing electrical junction box covers, HVAC equipment panels, control board mounting brackets, and similar sheet-metal or machined-surface assemblies that require a fine-thread fastener. The hex head allows wrench or nut driver engagement, while the hex drive provides an alternative for socket or Allen-key tools. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed without a coated finish.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for precise, fine-thread engagement in machined or tapped holes
• 1/2-inch length under head for consistent depth control in panel and enclosure applications
• Hex head with hex drive accepts both wrenches and Allen-key or socket tools
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid corrosion resistance without a secondary coating
• Uncoated finish — no plating or surface treatment to chip, flake, or add dimensional variation
• Sold in minimum quantity of 100 pieces, suitable for shop stock or service van inventory

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNF machine screw for use in any application requiring a 10-32 fine-thread hex head fastener in metal or tapped plastic substrates.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriately sized hex wrench, nut driver, or socket to avoid rounding the hex head. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 10-32 UNF specification before driving. De-energize any electrical equipment and shut off relevant systems before fastening screws in live enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Stainless fasteners can be prone to galling in stainless-tapped holes — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if repeated removal is anticipated.
