Value Collection 872131PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872131PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a secure, low-profile fastener with controlled torque. It carries a 10-32 UNF thread designation and measures 1 inch in length under the head. The drive is a 5/32 inch hex socket, compatible with standard Allen keys and hex-drive power tools. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this screw delivers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance. It meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, making it suitable for mechanical assemblies where dimensional and strength specifications must be verified. Installation is fully threaded along the entire shaft length.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade applications, including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel and enclosure mounting, plumbing fixture brackets, and general mechanical maintenance. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch is common in light-gauge metal assemblies and precision equipment. The zinc-plated finish provides moderate protection against oxidation in dry or mildly humid indoor environments. This screw is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment requiring 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screws per ASME B18.8 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician using a properly sized 5/32 inch hex key or bit driver. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before accessing internal fastener locations in electrical or HVAC assemblies. Do not exceed the recommended seating torque for the mating thread material, particularly in softer metals or thin sheet stock. Inspect threads for damage before installation to ensure proper engagement.
