Value Collection R40631442 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1-72 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40631442 is a hex socket cap screw threaded to the 1-72 UNF standard, designed for precision fastening applications where a compact, high-strength fastener is required. The screw measures 1/8 inch in length under the head and accepts a 1/16 inch hex drive. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for use in humid, wet, or chemically exposed environments. This fastener is installed using a standard hex key or Allen driver and is suited for mechanics, technicians, and assemblers working in tight clearances or on small-scale assemblies.

This screw is commonly used in light mechanical assemblies, instrument panels, electronic enclosures, and small equipment where a fine-thread, low-profile cap screw is required. The 1-72 UNF thread form provides a fine pitch suitable for thin materials or applications that demand precise torque control and resistance to loosening under vibration. The small drive size and compact length make it appropriate for use in cramped mounting situations common in HVAC controls, plumbing fixtures, and electrical panel components.

Key Features

• 1-72 UNF thread for fine-pitch, vibration-resistant fastening
• 1/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys in tight spaces
• 1/8 inch length under head for low-profile installations in thin materials
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or exposed environments
• Compact form factor suited for small-scale mechanical and electronic assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental fastener for assemblies requiring a 1-72 UNF hex socket cap screw with a 1/8 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/16 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and properly tapped to the 1-72 UNF standard before installation. Do not overtighten, as the small thread form is susceptible to stripping in soft base materials. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards for torque guidance based on material and application.
