Value Collection 872077PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872077PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, industrial, and light structural assemblies. This fastener features an 8-32 UNC thread and a 1/4-inch length under the head, making it suitable for compact joint applications where space is limited. The 9/64-inch hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench. Manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor environments. Installation is straightforward and repeatable, making this screw a reliable choice for technicians and machinists working in high-volume assembly operations.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, pump housings, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a clean, low-profile fastener head. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 1/4-inch grip length, which is especially useful in thin-material applications. Trade professionals in HVAC, electrical, and plumbing service work frequently use socket cap screws when access is limited to a single-axis drive tool. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement over the 1/4-inch length under head
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys for torque control in tight spaces
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for its size class
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in indoor and light-duty environments
• Meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring an 8-32 thread pattern with a 1/4-inch length under the head and a 9/64-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or T-handle Allen wrench. Power down any equipment and de-energize panels before accessing fastener locations in electrical or HVAC enclosures. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling on the zinc-plated surface. Follow applicable assembly torque guidelines for 8-32 alloy steel fasteners per the relevant equipment service documentation.
