Value Collection 721096PR Flat Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 721096PR is a flat socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a flush or countersunk head profile. Built from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it measures 2 inches in overall length and accepts a 3/32-inch hex socket drive. The 8-32 UNC thread is partially threaded along the shank, making it well suited for applications where thread engagement needs to be controlled. This screw meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards. Machinists, millwrights, and assembly technicians are the primary installers for this type of fastener in both production and maintenance environments.

This flat socket cap screw is used in applications where a low-profile, recessed head is required to sit flush with or below the mating surface. Typical installations include machine tool assemblies, fixtures, enclosures, and mechanical components where protruding fastener heads would interfere with adjacent parts or movement. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in precision equipment environments. It is appropriate for general industrial, mechanical, and light manufacturing use.

Key Features

• Flat head design allows flush or countersunk seating in mating material
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex bits
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding fastening applications
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance appearance
• Partially threaded shank allows controlled thread engagement and shank-to-shank clamping
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw compatible with 8-32 UNC tapped holes in machined components, fixtures, and assemblies requiring a countersunk fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a calibrated 3/32-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to the correct angle to achieve full flat head seating before torquing. Power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener service on electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable industry torque guidelines for 8-32 alloy steel fasteners and inspect threads for damage before installation.
