Value Collection 581224PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 581224PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a compact, high-strength fastener with a recessed drive. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw features a 6-32 UNC thread size, a 3-inch length under head, and a 7/64-inch hex drive. The partial threading design concentrates clamping force and suits applications where a smooth shank is needed between mating parts. Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in finished assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial assembly professionals install this fastener across a wide range of mechanical and structural applications.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, enclosures, fixtures, and equipment where a 6-32 UNC thread is specified. The 3-inch length under head accommodates thicker stock or stacked material. The hex socket drive requires an Allen wrench or hex bit, allowing installation in tight spaces where a standard external-drive tool cannot reach. Typical applications include machine frames, electrical enclosures, jigs, and precision equipment requiring a flush or low-profile fastener head.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3-inch length under head suits assemblies with thicker or stacked material
• 7/64-inch hex socket drive allows installation in confined spaces
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth grip section for improved clamping
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards
• Black oxide finish reduces corrosion and minimizes light reflection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex socket cap screw for use in any application specifying a 6-32 UNC thread and a 3-inch length under head per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/64-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Power down or de-energize any equipment before installing fasteners in or near live electrical enclosures. Do not overtighten alloy steel fasteners in soft or thin-walled materials, as thread stripping can occur.
