Value Collection 592016PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 1-72 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592016PR is a 1-72 UNF hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a fine thread and compact drive. The 1/16 inch internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key, and the screw measures 1 inch in length under the head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel (Austenitic Grade A2), it resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. The shank is partially threaded. This screw meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards and is suited for machine assembly, instrumentation, and light structural fastening tasks where a small-diameter fine-thread fastener is required.

This screw is commonly used in precision mechanical assemblies, instrumentation enclosures, and equipment where a 1-72 UNF thread form is specified. The fine thread pitch provides greater holding strength per engagement length compared to coarse thread equivalents of the same diameter. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor installations where corrosion resistance is a priority. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically install this fastener type in light-duty machine components and panel assemblies.

Key Features

• 1-72 UNF fine thread for high holding strength in small-diameter applications
• 1/16 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys
• 1 inch length under head, partially threaded shank
• 18-8 stainless steel construction, Austenitic Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-72 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in any application specifying this thread size, drive type, and length per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/16 inch hex key or driver bit. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing fasteners on live assemblies. Do not overtighten small-diameter stainless steel screws, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound where fastener removal may be required in the future. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for the assembly type.
