Value Collection MP73046 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP73046 is a 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment maintenance applications. The fastener is fully threaded along its 1-1/4 inch length under the head and is driven with a 5/32 inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish coating, it delivers solid tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and controlled-environment installations. This screw conforms to ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for applications where dimensional and mechanical compliance is specified. Sold in a package quantity of 25.

This screw is commonly used in light industrial, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general mechanical maintenance. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch is a fine-thread designation widely found in instrument panels, fan motor mounts, control board brackets, and sheet metal components across commercial and residential trade work. The black oxide alloy steel construction suits dry or lightly oiled indoor environments where a flush, low-profile socket cap head is preferred over hex head fasteners.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for secure engagement in tapped holes common to trade equipment
• 1-1/4 inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements
• Black oxide finish provides a uniform appearance and light surface protection
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.3 compliant fastener with a 5/32 inch hex drive and 1-1/4 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen-style driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading. Power down all equipment per applicable NEC or equipment-specific lockout/tagout procedures before replacing or installing fasteners in energized assemblies. Do not exceed the torque rating of the mating material, particularly when fastening into aluminum or thin sheet metal.
