Value Collection MSC-67562207 Button Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67562207 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile fastener head with reliable clamping strength. It features an 8-32 UNC thread and a 3/8-inch length under the head with full threading along the shank. The 3/32-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key for installation and removal in confined spaces. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and light fabrication work. It meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards and carries a Class 3A thread fit for consistent engagement.

This button socket cap screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, panel fastening, and machine components where a domed, low-profile head is required to clear adjacent parts or reduce snagging. The right-hand thread direction and 18-8 stainless steel construction make it a common choice in environments with moderate moisture exposure, including food processing equipment, marine hardware, and instrumentation panels. It is typically installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators using a 3/32-inch hex key or Allen driver.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC right-hand thread with Class 3A fit for precise, consistent thread engagement
• Full threading along the 3/8-inch shank length provides maximum thread contact in thin materials
• Low-profile button head at 0.087-inch head height reduces clearance conflicts in tight assemblies
• 18-8 stainless steel construction with bright, uncoated finish offers corrosion resistance without added coating thickness
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive works with standard hex keys and ball-end drivers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC button socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an ANSI/ASME B18.3 compliant low-profile socket fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or T-handle driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving to avoid galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel if the fastener may require future removal. Do not over-torque, as stainless steel fasteners are more susceptible to thread galling than hardened steel alternatives.
