Value Collection 872137PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872137PR is an alloy steel hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. It features a 10-32 UNF thread size and a 1-3/4 inch length under the head, with partial threading along the shank. Drive engagement is via a 5/32 inch internal hex socket, making it compatible with standard Allen-type drivers and hex keys. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry or mildly humid environments. This fastener is suited for applications where a recessed drive head and controlled thread engagement are required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals install these in equipment panels, machinery frames, and precision assemblies.

This cap screw is appropriate for use in light industrial, commercial, and trade-service applications where 10-32 UNF threading is specified. Typical installations include control panel assemblies, HVAC equipment housings, electrical enclosures, and mechanical equipment requiring a flush or low-profile fastener head. The partial thread design allows for engagement with a precise thread length, which is useful when fastening into blind or counterbored holes. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suitable for stocking in shop inventory or field service kits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a calibrated hex key or socket driver sized to 5/32 inch. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastener locations inside live panels or enclosures, per NFPA 70E safe work practices. Do not over-torque alloy steel cap screws into soft base materials; refer to applicable engineering specifications for torque requirements. Inspect threads in the mating hole for damage or contamination before installation.
