Value Collection 3TSCS08C004 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSCS08C004 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications where a clean, recessed drive is required. Sized at 8-32 UNC with a 1/4-inch length under head, it accepts a 9/64-inch hex key for installation and removal. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fastener offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or marine-adjacent environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals specify this grade when 304 stainless is insufficient for the service condition. The socket cap head provides a low-profile seating surface suitable for tight clearance assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, equipment enclosures, and general industrial fastening. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common unified coarse thread standard found in electrical enclosures, instrumentation mounting, and HVAC equipment panels. The 316 alloy performs reliably in environments exposed to moisture, mild acids, or salt air, making it a preferred choice for coastal installations and process equipment.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes in trade and industrial equipment
• 9/64-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and ball-end drivers
• 1/4-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening applications
• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance over 304 alloy
• Socket cap head design keeps fastener recessed and low-profile in finished assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to the 8-32 unified coarse thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply appropriate torque using a calibrated hex driver to avoid galling, which is a common risk with stainless fasteners. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener service in electrical or control panel applications.
