Value Collection 592216PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592216PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in confined spaces where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach. It accepts a 5/32 inch hex (Allen) drive and features a 10-32 UNF thread size with full threading along its 3/16 inch length under head. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance and strength suitable for demanding mechanical and trade applications. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general mechanical contractors regularly specify this fastener type when assembling equipment panels, brackets, and enclosures.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC component mounting, and plumbing equipment installations where a compact, fully threaded stainless fastener is required. The 10-32 UNF thread is a fine-pitch unified thread standard common in instrumentation, panel work, and equipment manufacturing. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine-pitch thread for precise, vibration-resistant engagement
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Fully threaded along the 3/16 inch length under head for maximum grip in thin materials
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3 compliant fastener with a 5/32 inch hex drive and 3/16 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 5/32 inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to avoid cross-threading, which is especially critical with fine UNF threads. Do not use power tools without a torque-limiting clutch, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling. No specialized trade license is required, but proper torque practice and thread engagement should follow applicable mechanical codes for the installation context.
