Value Collection 592229PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592229PR is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a secure, corrosion-resistant fastener with a low-profile head. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2), this fastener measures 2.25 inches under the head and accepts a 5/32-inch hex drive key. The 10-32 UNF thread form provides a fine-pitch engagement suited to precision assemblies where vibration resistance and tight tolerances matter. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it appropriate for mechanical, HVAC bracket, plumbing fixture, and general trade applications where stainless hardware is specified.

This screw is commonly used in light industrial, mechanical, and building-trades assemblies where a fine-thread cap screw in stainless steel is required. Typical install scenarios include control panel fabrication, equipment mounting, and corrosion-prone environments such as pool equipment rooms, exterior HVAC installations, and wet-service plumbing assemblies. Partial threading allows the shank to bear shear loads while the threaded section clamps the joint. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) resists corrosion in wet and outdoor service environments
• Partially threaded shank provides shear load capacity alongside clamping force
• 10-32 UNF fine thread for tight tolerance and vibration-resistant engagement
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and bit drivers
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement hex socket cap screw for any assembly specifying a 10-32 UNF, 2.25-inch length under head, partially threaded cap screw with a 5/32-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or matching socket bit driver. Verify that the mating threaded hole or nut is also 10-32 UNF before installation. De-energize or shut down any associated equipment before accessing fastener locations on live panels or pressurized assemblies. Avoid over-torquing stainless fasteners, as 18-8 alloys are susceptible to galling — use an appropriate anti-seize compound where repeated removal is anticipated.
