Value Collection 581326PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 581326PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a secure, torque-resistant fastening solution. Threaded to the 10-32 UNF standard with a 5/32-inch hex drive, this screw measures 5 inches in length under the head and features partial threading along the shank. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it offers solid mechanical strength and mild corrosion resistance. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards. This fastener is suited for installation in machinery, equipment enclosures, jigs, fixtures, and precision assemblies where consistent clamping force and a low-profile socket-drive head are required.

This screw is commonly used in industrial and mechanical assembly environments where controlled torque and reliable thread engagement are critical. The 10-32 UNF fine thread pitch provides excellent holding strength in tapped metal holes and is a standard size across a wide range of equipment manufactured for HVAC, electrical, and mechanical trade applications. The partial thread design allows for free passage through clearance holes before engaging the tapped bore, making it well suited for clamping two components together with precision alignment.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for strong engagement in tapped metal holes
• 5-inch length under head for extended reach and clamping depth
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Partially threaded shank allows clearance-hole pass-through before thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces glare during service

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3 compliant fastener in a tapped or nut-retained assembly.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician using a calibrated hex key or Allen-head bit driver sized at 5/32 inch. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener replacement or assembly work. Avoid cross-threading by ensuring the screw is started straight and by hand before applying torque. Do not exceed the torque rating for the tapped material to prevent thread stripping.
