Value Collection R40663404 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40663404 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment repairs, and structural connections. Threaded 8-32 UNC, the fastener features a 9/64 inch hex drive and measures 1/2 inch in length under the head. The body is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. This screw is sold individually and requires a minimum order of 100 units, making it suited for production runs, maintenance stocking, or bulk repair work. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers are the primary installers.

This cap screw fits a wide range of residential and commercial applications wherever an 8-32 UNC threaded hole is required. Common use cases include panel fastening, equipment enclosures, motor mounts, and general machine assembly. The stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments where carbon steel hardware would corrode, such as food processing, marine, or outdoor electrical enclosures. The socket head profile allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations where standard hex head fasteners cannot be driven.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for standard inch-series tapped holes
• 9/64 inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen or hex key tooling
• 1/2 inch length under head for shallow-to-mid depth fastening
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Socket cap head allows use in recessed and tight-clearance locations
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or production fastener for any application with an 8-32 UNC threaded hole requiring a 9/64 inch hex socket drive cap screw.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the receiving threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten, as 18-8 stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling; applying an anti-galling lubricant is standard practice in stainless-to-stainless assemblies. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly.
