Value Collection R40663423 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40663423 is a hex socket cap screw engineered for secure fastening in close-tolerance assemblies where a standard hex head will not fit. Threaded 8-32 UNC with a 1/4-inch length under the head, it accepts a 9/64-inch hex drive. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, the fastener resists corrosion in wet, humid, or mildly chemical environments. This size and material combination sees regular use in control panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, and mechanical subassemblies across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and light industrial applications. The part ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flush or low-profile socket-drive cap screw is required. It is commonly installed in sheet metal enclosures, motor mounting brackets, and terminal blocks where torque must be applied with a hex key or Allen driver. The 8-32 UNC thread form is a standard coarse-pitch inch thread compatible with tapped holes, threaded inserts, and standard nuts of the same designation.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size — standard coarse-pitch inch thread for broad compatibility
• 1/4-inch length under head for low-profile fastening in shallow assemblies
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or humid environments
• Socket cap head allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw compatible with any tapped hole, threaded insert, or standard nut machined to the 8-32 UNC thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 9/64-inch hex key or ball-end Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before fastener work on live assemblies. Stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an anti-seize compound to the threads when torquing into stainless tapped holes.
