Value Collection MP72054 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP72054 is a 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical, electrical, and industrial assembly applications. The screw features a 9/64-inch hex drive and a 3/8-inch length under head with full threading along its entire shank. Constructed from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, it provides solid mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance in dry or lightly exposed environments. This screw meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a reliable choice for specification-grade work. Sold in a package of 50 units.

This fastener is suited for light-gauge panel assembly, equipment enclosures, HVAC component mounting, electrical panels, and general mechanical fabrication. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common unified coarse thread used across a wide range of trade and OEM applications. The black oxide finish is appropriate for interior or protected environments. Installers typically use a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver to seat and torque the fastener. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement in shallow or thin material applications.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the 3/8-inch under-head length
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical strength requirements
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards for socket cap screws

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring an 8-32 UNC socket cap screw with a 3/8-inch under-head length and 9/64-inch hex drive, conforming to ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed technician, maintenance mechanic, or qualified assembler using a 9/64-inch hex key or T-handle driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Do not over-drive — seat the screw until snug and apply only the torque appropriate for the base material and application. For electrical enclosure work, follow applicable NEC requirements for hardware used in panel assemblies.
