Value Collection 581318PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 581318PR is a hex socket cap screw intended for precision fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and trade installations. It features a 10-32 UNF thread size and measures 2.5 inches in length under the head. The screw is partially threaded and driven with a 5/32-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance for interior and protected environments. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for applications where dimensional accuracy and material strength are required. Typically installed by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and electricians when securing components to metal frames or panels.

This screw is suited for use in tight-clearance assemblies where a low-profile socket head is necessary and a standard hex head will not fit. Common applications include motor mounts, bracket assemblies, equipment panels, and control enclosures in both residential and light commercial settings. The partial threading allows for clamping force between two components without thread engagement through the full grip length, which is standard practice in many fastened joint designs.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for fine-pitch fastening in metal assemblies
• 2.5-inch length under head with partial threading
• 5/32-inch hex drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bits
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 strength requirements
• Black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance in protected environments
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring ASME/ANSI B18.3 compliant fasteners with a 5/32-inch hex drive and 2.5-inch grip length.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque range for 10-32 alloy steel fasteners as specified by applicable equipment manufacturer documentation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on electrical or mechanical assemblies.
