Value Collection MSC-67562249 Button Cap Screw 8-32 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-67562249 is a fully threaded button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head and reliable clamping strength. Sized at 8-32 with a 1/2-inch length under head, the screw features a hex socket drive accepting a 3/32-inch hex key. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, providing corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and light structural assembly work. Thread fit is Class 3A, right-hand direction, conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards. Installation is straightforward with standard hex key tooling.

This screw is commonly used in machine assemblies, equipment panels, brackets, and enclosures where a flush or near-flush head profile is required. The UNC thread form makes it compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes. It is appropriate for use in environments where mild to moderate corrosion resistance is needed, such as food processing equipment, marine-adjacent hardware, HVAC equipment panels, and general fabrication. Installers in mechanical, electrical, and light industrial trades will encounter this fastener type in routine assembly and maintenance work.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread, right-hand, Class 3A fit for consistent engagement in standard tapped holes
• 1/2-inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement in thin materials
• Button head profile provides low-profile clamping with smooth, rounded appearance
• 3/32-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard Allen keys
• 18-8 stainless steel construction with bright uncoated finish for corrosion resistance
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC button socket cap screw compatible with any 8-32 tapped hole conforming to ANSI/ASME specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Verify the receiving tapped hole meets 8-32 UNC Class 3B specifications before installation. Do not exceed the rated clamp load for 18-8 stainless steel fasteners, as overtorquing can cause galling or thread stripping. Apply an anti-seize compound if the mating material is also stainless steel to prevent galling during installation or removal.
