Value Collection R40638403 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40638403 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, torque-efficient fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. Threaded to a 10-32 UNF specification, it features a 5/32-inch hex drive and a 1/2-inch length under the head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments. It is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general trade applications where a compact, high-strength fastener is required. A hex key (Allen wrench) is used to drive the socket head, allowing installation in confined spaces where a standard wrench cannot reach.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial trade work. The fine UNF thread pitch provides stronger thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread fasteners, making it a preferred choice when vibration resistance or precision clamping is needed. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors working on equipment panels, brackets, and enclosures. This item is sold in a package quantity of 1, with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for improved vibration resistance and thread engagement
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with a standard Allen wrench or hex key
• 1/2-inch length under head suits shallow-depth fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• Socket cap head profile allows installation in recessed or confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and enclosures requiring a 5/32-inch hex drive fastener with a 1/2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen wrench; power-down or de-energize any equipment before fastening into electrical enclosures or panels. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling of the threads can occur without appropriate lubrication. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment codes for the specific trade application.
