Value Collection 592193PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-36 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592193PR is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications requiring a precise, low-profile head driven by an internal hex key. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), it provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. The screw features an 8-36 UNF thread, a 1-inch length under head, and a 9/64-inch hex drive. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it appropriate for mechanical assemblies where dimensional conformance is required.

This fastener is suited for use in light mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, pump housings, and plumbing fixture brackets where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The fine 8-36 UNF thread pitch provides increased thread engagement and pull-out strength compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it useful in thin-wall or tapped-hole applications where thread stripping is a concern. Trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians commonly use cap screws of this type when reassembling equipment or fabricating mounting hardware.

Key Features

• 8-36 UNF fully threaded profile for maximum thread engagement along the full shank length
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• 9/64-inch internal hex drive accepts standard hex keys and ball-end drivers
• 1-inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening in panels and housings
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-36 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for tapped holes conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3 specifications in mechanical, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 9/64-inch hex key or ball-end driver; do not use an undersized key, as rounding the drive socket will damage the fastener. De-energize or depressurize any equipment before replacing fasteners on live panels or pressurized housings. Apply a compatible anti-seize compound if the screw will be threaded into aluminum or dissimilar metal to prevent galling of the stainless threads.
