Value Collection -40216-6 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -40216-6 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and equipment maintenance applications. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards for dimensional accuracy and tensile strength. The screw features a 10-32 UNF thread size and a 3-inch length under the head, driven by a 5/32-inch hex (Allen) socket. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on HVAC equipment, pumps, and panel assemblies commonly specify this grade of socket head cap screw where a flush or recessed head profile is required.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical service work, including equipment panel assembly, bracket mounting, and component replacement where 10-32 UNF threaded holes are present. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface in the grip area, which is useful in applications requiring precise alignment or shear loading. Each package contains 25 screws, making it appropriate for both single-job use and shop stock replenishment.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for compatibility with standard fine-thread tapped holes
• 3-inch length under head with partial threading for grip-area shear strength
• 5/32-inch hex drive for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 tensile requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for equipment and assemblies using 10-32 UNF partially threaded hex socket cap screws per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener service in accordance with applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not exceed the rated torque specification for the 10-32 thread class as defined by your equipment manufacturer.
