Value Collection 872057PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872057PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. It features a 6-32 UNC thread and a 1/2-inch length under head, making it suited for close-tolerance applications where a recessed drive is required. The 7/64-inch hex drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in typical indoor and light industrial environments. It conforms to ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, ensuring consistent dimensional and mechanical performance. This screw is fully threaded along its shank length.

This fastener is used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel and enclosure mounting, plumbing fixture fabrication, and general mechanical maintenance. Its compact 6-32 UNC thread size makes it a common choice for securing lightweight components, brackets, and covers where space is limited and a flush or recessed head profile is required. It is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field service repairs.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread tapped holes
• 1/2-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening applications
• 7/64-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full grip length
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical strength requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in dry and light-duty environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or service fastener for any application requiring a 6-32 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 1/2-inch length under head, conforming to ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/64-inch hex key or hex bit driver; ensure the drive tool is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to avoid rounding the drive recess. Verify that the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before fastening. Do not exceed the rated mechanical load for 6-32 alloy steel fasteners in the application. This fastener is intended for installation by qualified mechanical, HVAC, or electrical technicians following applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines.
