Value Collection 872055PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872055PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in tight spaces where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach. The socket drive accepts a 7/64-inch hex key, allowing controlled torque application in confined assemblies. Built from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener resists corrosion and meets the mechanical strength requirements defined by ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574. With a 3/8-inch length under head and a 6-32 UNC thread form that runs fully threaded, it is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, panel mounting, and precision equipment. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and tradespeople across HVAC, electrical, and mechanical service work commonly use this style of fastener.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications wherever a compact, low-profile cap screw is specified. Common install scenarios include securing terminal covers, control panel components, equipment guards, and bracket assemblies. The 6-32 UNC thread size is a standard coarse-thread designation widely encountered in instrument panels, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication work. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 3/8-inch body length, which is especially useful in thin-stock or short-hole applications.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in thin materials
• 3/8-inch length under head suits shallow-hole and thin-stock fastening applications
• 7/64-inch hex socket drive for use with a standard hex key or Allen driver
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical strength requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.8 dimensional standards for interchangeable fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC hex socket cap screw conforming to ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574, suitable as a direct replacement or supplement in any application specifying this thread size, drive type, and length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 7/64-inch hex key or T-handle Allen driver. De-energize any electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before accessing fastener locations on live assemblies. Apply fastener torque gradually and evenly to avoid stripping the socket or cross-threading the receiving hole. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer specifications for torque requirements specific to the assembly.
