Value Collection 592180PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592180PR is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical panel assemblies. It features an 8-32 UNC thread size with a 3-inch length under the head, driven by a 9/64-inch hex socket. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), it offers reliable corrosion resistance for both indoor and moderate outdoor service environments. This screw conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it appropriate for applications where dimensional and material traceability matter.

This cap screw is suited for use in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, control panel builds, and general trade fabrication work. The partial threading allows the shank to act as a shoulder section, aiding alignment and shear resistance in clearance-hole applications. Trade professionals including HVAC installers, electricians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance technicians will find this fastener appropriate for equipment assembly and field repair tasks requiring a corrosion-resistant stainless fastener.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3-inch length under head provides extended engagement for thick or stacked assemblies
• Partially threaded shank aids alignment and improves shear load performance
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• 9/64-inch hex drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 UNC partially threaded fastener with a 3-inch length under head in stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver; do not use an undersized key, as this risks rounding the drive socket. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless or aluminum threads to prevent cold welding. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable design standard.
