Value Collection 872083PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872083PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in a wide range of industrial and trade applications. This screw features an 8-32 UNC thread size and a 5/8-inch length under the head, with full threading from head to tip. The drive is a 9/64-inch hex (Allen) socket, allowing torque to be applied with a standard hex key or socket driver. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance. Licensed electricians, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general contractors install this type of fastener in panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, and mechanical sub-assemblies.

This screw is suited for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks where a low-profile socket drive is preferred over a hex-head or Phillips configuration. Fully threaded along the shank, it is appropriate for thin material joints and through-bolt applications where maximum thread engagement is required. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it a practical choice for shop stock, field service kits, and production assembly operations.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size — compatible with standard 8-32 tapped holes
• 5/8-inch length under head for consistent installation depth
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 fastener standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped or threaded application requiring an ASME B18.8 or ASTM A574 compliant fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver; always confirm the receiving thread is tapped to 8-32 UNC specification before driving. De-energize any electrical panel or mechanical assembly before fastener service to meet applicable safety codes. Do not over-drive: alloy socket cap screws can strip the hex recess if excess torque is applied without a calibrated driver. Inspect the zinc plating for damage before installation in environments with any moisture exposure.
