Value Collection R40631411 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1-72 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40631411 is a hex socket cap screw sized for fine-thread 1-72 UNF applications. It measures 3/16 inches under the head and is driven by a 1/16-inch hex key. The screw is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for use in humid or wet environments. This fastener is typically installed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and field service professionals working on small equipment, instrumentation, or electronic enclosures where a low-profile cap screw with a recessed drive is required.

This screw is suited for light-duty fastening applications that demand fine thread engagement and a compact drive format. The 1-72 UNF thread designation indicates a number-1 diameter with 72 threads per inch, making it appropriate for thin-walled assemblies, precision instruments, and small mechanical components. Its stainless steel construction makes it a common choice in HVAC controls, pool equipment panels, and electrical enclosures where exposure to moisture is a factor.

Key Features

• 1-72 UNF thread form for fine-pitch engagement in small or thin-walled assemblies
• 3/16-inch length under head for shallow fastening applications
• 1/16-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid service environments
• Low-profile socket cap head allows installation in recessed or space-constrained locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-72 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in precision instruments, electronic enclosures, and small mechanical assemblies requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener with a 1/16-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; use hand tools to avoid stripping the small socket drive. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtorque — number-1 diameter fasteners have limited tensile capacity. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for fastener retention in electrical or HVAC panel assemblies.
