Value Collection 721086PR Socket Cap Head Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 721086PR is an 8-32 socket cap head machine screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it meets ASME B18.3 dimensional standards for socket cap screws. The 8-32 thread size and 1/4-inch length under head make this screw suited for close-tolerance applications where a low-profile, high-strength fastener is required. Installation requires a hex key driver matched to the socket head. Licensed machinists, millwrights, equipment technicians, and general mechanical trades use this fastener type regularly across production and field service work.

This screw is used in light mechanical assemblies, panel fastening, fixture building, machine guarding, and equipment enclosures where an 8-32 threaded hole is present. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection, making it a practical choice in both shop and field environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 1/4-inch length under head for compact fastening applications
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength relative to screw size
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• Socket cap head drive requires hex key, allowing torque in confined spaces
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standard for socket cap screws

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 socket cap head machine screw per ASME B18.3, compatible with any 8-32 threaded hole or insert where a 1/4-inch length under head is appropriate.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a properly sized hex key or hex bit driver matched to the socket head recess. Ensure the mating threaded hole or insert is clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners on live machinery per applicable safety procedures. Do not overtighten; follow the equipment manufacturer's torque requirements for 8-32 fasteners as defined in their service documentation.
