Value Collection 872081PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872081PR is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. It features an 8-32 UNC thread size and measures 1/2 inch in length under the head. The 9/64-inch hex drive allows installation with a standard hex key or Allen wrench. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener offers solid mechanical strength and basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light industrial applications. It meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards. Installers and machinists use these fasteners where a low-profile socket head is required and wrench clearance is limited.

This screw is suited for light machinery, panel assemblies, brackets, and general mechanical fabrication where an 8-32 UNC threaded fastener is specified. The socket cap head design is common in machine shops, maintenance environments, and OEM equipment assembly. The zinc coating provides a level of protection against oxidation during storage and in dry service conditions. This fastener is sold as an individual piece with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.8 compliant fastener with a 1/2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, or assemblers using a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and correctly tapped to 8-32 UNC before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the rated torque for the thread size and material grade. Inspect threads for damage before installation to avoid cross-threading or fastener failure.
