Value Collection MP72066 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP72066 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical assemblies. It features an 8-32 UNC thread and measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head with a 9/64-inch hex drive socket. The screw is partially threaded, which provides better clamping force in structural or load-bearing joints. Made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance and hardness suitable for demanding shop and field applications. Sold in a pack of 50, this fastener meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards. Licensed machinists, millwrights, and field mechanics commonly use this type of fastener in precision equipment assembly and maintenance.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for general mechanical and industrial fastening applications requiring a compact, recessed drive. The 8-32 UNC thread is a standard unified coarse thread commonly found in light machinery, enclosures, fixtures, and equipment frames. The black oxide alloy steel construction makes it a practical choice for interior assemblies where surface hardness and a low-profile head are required. The pack quantity of 50 supports both service kit stock and production use.

• Pack of 50 suitable for stocking or production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an 8-32 UNC thread and a 9/64-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen-type driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity for 8-32 alloy steel fasteners as specified by the applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer guidelines. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies in electrical or mechanical enclosures.
