Value Collection R40638122 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40638122 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in close-clearance applications where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach. Threaded to the 10-32 UNF specification, this screw delivers fine-thread holding strength in a compact form. It measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head and accepts a 5/32 inch hex drive key. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it resists corrosion in wet, humid, or mildly chemical environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers use this fastener across industrial, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical applications where a clean, recessed drive is required.

This screw is suited for light-gauge metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, equipment panels, and mechanical sub-assemblies that call for a fine-thread, socket-head fastener. The 10-32 UNF thread is a common specification in instrument hardware, HVAC control panels, and electrical equipment mounting. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor installations where moisture exposure is a factor. It is sold individually, though the minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for strong engagement in thin or tapped metal stock
• 1-1/4 inch length under head for moderate-depth fastening applications
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in humid or wet environments
• Socket cap head design allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring an 18-8 stainless steel socket head fastener with a 5/32 inch hex drive and 1-1/4 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen wrench driver bit; do not use an undersized key as it will damage the socket. Confirm the mating thread is tapped to 10-32 UNF before installation. De-energize any electrical equipment or shut down any mechanical system before fastening or removing hardware in live assemblies. Avoid over-driving stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling — apply anti-seize compound where appropriate.
