Value Collection R40663249 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40663249 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications requiring a clean, low-profile head and reliable clamping force. Threaded to the 8-32 UNC standard, this fastener measures 2 inches in length under the head and accepts a 9/64 inch hex key drive. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance in environments where mild chemical exposure, moisture, or outdoor conditions are a factor. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators commonly use this style of fastener when access is limited to a socket-style tool rather than an open wrench.

This screw is suited for light-duty mechanical assemblies, panel attachments, equipment enclosures, and general machine-shop applications. The 8-32 UNC thread profile is widely used in instrument panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC controls, and light structural brackets. The 18-8 stainless steel grade performs well in both indoor and outdoor installations where mild corrosion resistance is required without the added cost of a higher alloy grade.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head provides adequate grip depth for thicker material stacks
• 9/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex-key drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments
• Low-profile socket cap head allows installation in recessed or tight clearance areas

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application or assembly that calls for this thread size, drive type, and fastener length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64 inch hex key or Allen-style driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is a common concern with stainless steel fasteners. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound if the fastener will be removed periodically. Power down any electrical or mechanical equipment before servicing panels or enclosures where these screws are used.
