Value Collection 872087PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872087PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical assemblies. It features an 8-32 UNC thread and measures 7/8 inches in length under the head, with full threading along the entire shank. Drive is a 9/64 inch hex socket, requiring a standard hex key or Allen wrench. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener offers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty industrial use. It meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for demanding mechanical applications where dimensional precision matters.

This cap screw is suited for general mechanical assembly, machinery maintenance, and equipment fabrication where a low-profile, recessed-drive fastener is required. The 8-32 UNC thread size is commonly found in light machinery, instrument panels, electrical enclosures, and HVAC equipment chassis. It is installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and trade professionals who require a reliable threaded fastener in confined or recessed fastening locations. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of surface protection suitable for dry or mildly humid indoor environments.

• 9/64 inch hex socket drive for use with a standard Allen or hex key
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 tensile strength requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection
• Conforms to ASME B18.8 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any tapped hole conforming to 8-32 UNC thread specifications per ASME standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64 inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and properly tapped before driving to avoid cross-threading or galling. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live machinery. Torque to the specification listed in the applicable equipment service documentation, as fastener torque requirements vary by application and joint design.
