Value Collection R40638246 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40638246 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in a wide range of industrial and trade applications. Threaded to 10-32 UNF specification, this screw features a 5/32-inch hex drive and a 2-inch length under head. It is constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for use in wet, humid, or chemically active environments. Licensed tradespeople, maintenance technicians, and equipment assemblers rely on socket cap screws like this one when space constraints require a low-profile, high-torque fastener driven with an Allen wrench or hex key.

This screw is suited for use in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosures, pump and valve housings, pool equipment mounting, and general mechanical maintenance. The fine 10-32 UNF thread pitch makes it appropriate for applications requiring precise thread engagement, vibration resistance, or use in thinner material sections. The 2-inch under-head length accommodates moderate material stack-ups without requiring through-hole clearance modifications.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for precise engagement and vibration-resistant fastening
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen wrenches and hex key sets
• 2-inch length under head accommodates moderate material thickness
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments
• Low-profile socket cap head suits confined or recessed fastening locations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw for mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and maintenance applications requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener with a 5/32-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench; use of a torque wrench is recommended where equipment manufacturer specifications apply. Ensure threaded receiving holes are clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not cross-thread or over-drive stainless steel fasteners, as galling can permanently seize the screw in the threads.
