Value Collection R40663109 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40663109 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive and a clean, low-profile head. Threaded to 8-32 UNC specifications, this screw measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and accepts a 9/64-inch hex key drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and outdoor installations. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors use socket cap screws like this one when access is limited to a single axis or when a flush or recessed fastener is required for panel assembly, equipment mounting, or component fabrication.

This screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and general trade fabrication work. The 8-32 UNC thread form is a widely used coarse-pitch unified thread standard, compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts of the same designation. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure, including mechanical rooms and rooftop equipment installations.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts
• 1.5-inch length under head for moderate-depth fastening applications
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tools
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moderate-moisture environments
• Low-profile socket cap head allows recessed installation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a fastener of this thread size, drive type, and length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert matches the 8-32 UNC thread specification before driving the fastener. Power down and de-energize any electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures where this screw is used. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as they are susceptible to galling; applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads is a common field practice.
