Value Collection 701083PR Button Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 701083PR is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head with high clamping strength. It features an 8-32 UNC thread at 1-1/2 inches of length under head and is fully threaded. The screw is machined from alloy steel and finished with black oxide coating for corrosion resistance in moderate environments. A 3/32-inch hex socket drive allows installation with a standard hex key or Allen driver. Hardness is rated at 36-43 HRC, making it suitable for demanding mechanical assemblies. This fastener conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards. It is commonly installed by millwrights, machine technicians, maintenance mechanics, and fabricators.

This button socket cap screw is used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies where head clearance is limited and a flush or near-flush profile is required. Typical applications include panel attachments, jigs, fixtures, machine guards, and equipment enclosures. The black oxide finish makes it a common choice in fabrication shops and industrial maintenance settings where a non-reflective, functional appearance is preferred alongside standard corrosion protection.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides a low-profile, clean look with broad bearing surface
• 8-32 UNC thread form, fully threaded along the 1-1/2-inch shank
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and drivers
• Alloy steel construction rated at 36-43 HRC for strength and wear resistance
• Black oxide finish adds mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 dimensional and performance standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or build-specification fastener for any application requiring an 8-32 UNC button socket cap screw per ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/32-inch hex key or ball-end driver; ensure the socket is fully seated before applying torque to avoid rounding. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners in active machinery per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not substitute this screw in structural or safety-critical joints without verifying load requirements against published ASTM F835 data. Thread fit class 3A indicates a close tolerance fit; inspect mating threads for damage or contamination before installation.
