Value Collection 581245P Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 581245P is an 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and light structural applications. Machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance and reduces light reflectivity in finished assemblies. It measures 5/16 inches in length under the head and is fully threaded, accepting a 9/64-inch hex key drive. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a reliable choice for applications where dimensional and mechanical consistency matter. Machinists, millwrights, equipment technicians, and maintenance professionals commonly use this fastener.

This cap screw suits a wide range of mechanical and industrial applications where a socket-drive fastener with a low-profile cap head is required. Common installation scenarios include machine tool assemblies, jigs and fixtures, equipment panels, and precision mechanical components. The fully threaded shank allows engagement across the full grip length, which is particularly useful in thin-material or close-tolerance applications. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement in short-grip applications
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectivity appearance
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to the 8-32 UNC thread standard in inch-series mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver; use of the correct drive size prevents rounding of the socket recess. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving. Apply thread lubricant or thread-locking compound as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Do not exceed the torque rating specified by the assembly design documentation for 8-32 alloy steel fasteners.
