Value Collection 40214 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 40214 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical, HVAC, and industrial assembly applications. The screw features a 10-32 UNF thread size with a 1-inch length under head and is fully threaded along its entire shank. Drive engagement is via a 5/32-inch hex socket. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish coating, this fastener offers improved corrosion resistance and reduced surface reflectivity compared to bare steel. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a recognized option for load-bearing and torque-sensitive fastener applications installed by mechanical and HVAC technicians.

This screw is suited for use in equipment panels, machinery housings, HVAC component mounting, and general mechanical assembly where a flush or recessed drive is preferred over external hex or slotted fasteners. The fully threaded 10-32 UNF configuration makes it appropriate for through-hole and tapped-hole installations in light- to medium-duty assemblies. It is commonly used wherever a compact, high-strength socket cap fastener is required in confined spaces or precision equipment.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fully threaded shank for consistent thread engagement
• 1-inch length under head for standard-depth fastening applications
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for torque with a small-profile head
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 strength requirements
• Black oxide finish coating for mild corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fitment fastener for mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, and industrial machinery requiring 10-32 UNF socket cap screws.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or socket driver; use of an appropriate torque wrench is recommended per the assembly specification to avoid thread stripping in tapped holes. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations inside electrical or HVAC enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical panels or control boxes. Inspect tapped holes for damage or contamination before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
