Value Collection -40216-4 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -40216-4 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, industrial, and trade assembly applications. Threaded 10-32 UNF with a 5/32 inch hex drive, this screw measures 2-1/2 inches under the head and is partially threaded along its shank. It is manufactured from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating that provides moderate corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance surface. Sold in a package of 25 pieces, this fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it suitable for applications requiring controlled tensile strength and dimensional consistency.

This screw is used in mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, jigs, fixtures, and general industrial fabrication where a flush or recessed socket drive is required. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch is common in precision instruments, light machinery, and panel mounting applications. The partial threading allows for clamping force between joined materials without thread engagement through the full fastener length. Installers in HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trades will find this size frequently specified in equipment sub-assemblies and enclosure hardware.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for precision-fit applications requiring fine thread engagement
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key sets
• 2-1/2 inch length under head with partial threading for clamping-style fastening
• Alloy steel construction rated to ASTM A574 for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface glare
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring a 10-32 UNF partially threaded fastener with a 5/32 inch drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen driver; use of a calibrated torque tool is recommended for assemblies with defined clamp load requirements. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Black oxide fasteners are not rated for outdoor or high-moisture environments without additional protective treatment. Installers should verify thread compatibility with the mating component before assembly to avoid cross-threading or galling.
