Value Collection 592217PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592217PR is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Sized at 10-32 UNF thread with a 5/16-inch length under head, this screw is driven with a 5/32-inch hex key. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Material Grade A2), it delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it a code-appropriate choice for mechanical assemblies where dimensional consistency and material traceability matter.

This socket cap screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical fabrication. Its fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement in shallow or thin-material installations. The 10-32 UNF fine thread offers stronger thread engagement and better resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it well suited for equipment subject to cyclical loads or vibration.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for high thread engagement and vibration resistance
• 5/16-inch length under head with fully threaded shank for maximum fastening depth
• 5/32-inch hex drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and precision fastening applications that require a 5/32-inch hex drive and stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 5/32-inch hex key or hex bit driver; do not use an undersized or worn key as it may strip the socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
