Value Collection MSC-67562165 Button Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67562165 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications where a low-profile head and strong clamping force are required. Sized at 8-32 x 1/4 inch, it features a 3/32 hex socket drive and is fully threaded to the head. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in mildly wet or humid environments. It meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 dimensional and performance standards. The button head profile sits flush to surrounding surfaces, reducing snag points in assemblies. It is suitable for machine assembly, panel mounting, and light structural connections requiring a clean finished appearance.

This screw is used in residential and commercial mechanical assembly work, including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication. The 8-32 UNC thread size and 1/4 inch length under the head make it well suited for thin-stock fastening and panel attachment tasks. Installers working with sheet metal enclosures or equipment covers will find this size commonly specified. The fully threaded shank ensures maximum thread engagement in shallow tapped holes.

Key Features

• Button head profile provides low-profile, snag-free clamping surface
• 3/32 inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard hex keys
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in humid or mildly wet environments
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement in shallow tapped holes
• Right-hand, Class 3A thread fit ensures accurate dimensional tolerance
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards for dimensional and mechanical compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard fastener for equipment panels, enclosures, and assemblies that use 8-32 UNC button socket cap screws with a 1/4 inch grip length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 3/32 inch hex key or ball-end driver. Power down and de-energize any electrical enclosure or equipment before removing or installing panel fasteners. Verify that the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading. Do not exceed the torque rating appropriate for 18-8 stainless steel in 8-32 thread applications, as stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling if over-driven or installed dry without lubrication.
