Value Collection MP73048 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP73048 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. It features a 10-32 UNF thread size with a 1.5-inch length under head and is partially threaded for positive clamping force. The 5/32-inch hex drive socket accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, this fastener offers improved corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection in finished assemblies. Sold in a package of 25, it suits production, maintenance, and repair applications where consistent hardware quality is required.

This screw is appropriate for use in light mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, machine components, and general industrial fastening where a 10-32 UNF thread pitch is specified. The black oxide finish makes it a common choice in applications requiring a low-profile, darkened fastener appearance. Typical installers include millwrights, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on production machinery, enclosures, or instrumentation hardware.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for fine-pitch, high-torque fastening in tapped holes
• 1.5-inch length under head with partial threading for positive clamp load
• 5/32-inch hex drive socket compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards
• Black oxide coating provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduced glare
• Package quantity of 25 supports both single-use repair and small production runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 hex socket cap screw for use in any application specifying a 10-32 UNF partially threaded fastener with a 5/32-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or hex socket bit driver. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to prevent cross-threading or galling. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener service on live machinery. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable engineering documentation for 10-32 alloy steel fasteners.
