Value Collection 581217PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 581217PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies. With a 6-32 UNC thread size and a 2-inch length under head, this screw is partially threaded and accepts a 7/64-inch hex drive. Made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers good strength and corrosion resistance in a compact profile. It is installed using a hex key or Allen wrench and is suited for applications where a flush or recessed fastener head is required. Licensed trades and skilled assemblers working on equipment, machinery, or fixtures will find this a standard workhorse fastener.

This screw is appropriate for general mechanical and industrial assembly work, including light machinery, enclosures, brackets, and structural components where a 6-32 UNC thread engagement is specified. Its partial threading allows for clamping force across a shank section before thread engagement, which is common in through-bolt and clearance-hole applications. The black oxide coating provides a degree of surface protection and a low-reflectance finish, suitable for both indoor and controlled-environment use.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread size with 2-inch length under head
• Partially threaded shank for clamping-style installations
• 7/64-inch hex socket drive — standard Allen key compatible
• Alloy steel construction for increased strength over mild steel
• Black oxide coating for surface protection and low-reflectance appearance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application calling for an ASME/ANSI B18.3 or ASTM A574 compliant socket head fastener of this size.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/64-inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Follow torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer for 6-32 alloy steel fasteners. Do not exceed recommended torque, as over-tightening can strip threads in softer mating materials.
