Value Collection 93023 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93023 is a hex socket cap screw sized to 10-32 UNF thread with a 1-3/4 inch length under head and a 5/32 inch internal hex drive. Machined from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. The socket cap head accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver, making it a common choice in confined spaces where a wrench cannot swing freely. This screw is sold in a pack of 10 units. Maintenance techs, fabricators, and field installers use this type of fastener across HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies.

The 10-32 UNF thread designation identifies a number 10 diameter screw with 32 threads per inch, placing it in the fine-thread series. Fine threads offer greater thread engagement per unit length and are preferred when vibration resistance or precise torque control matters. The 1-3/4 inch under-head length suits medium-depth tapped holes and through-bolt applications in sheet metal and light structural members. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes this fastener suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations where mild corrosion resistance is required.

Key Features

• 5/32 inch internal hex drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Socket cap head profile suits recessed or tight-clearance installations
• Pack of 10 fasteners per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or fastening application requiring a number 10 fine-thread fastener with a 5/32 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen driver; use a torque-limiting driver where preload consistency matters. Ensure tapped holes are clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling, which is a common risk with stainless steel fasteners. Apply an anti-seize compound to the threads when installing stainless fasteners into stainless or aluminum tapped holes to prevent galling and ease future removal. Power down equipment and follow applicable lockout-tagout procedures before replacing fasteners on live electrical or mechanical assemblies.
