Value Collection R40663484 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40663484 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, maintenance applications, and equipment fabrication. The 9/16 inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key (Allen wrench) for clean, recessed installation. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, and outdoor environments. The 8-32 UNC thread designation indicates a unified coarse thread profile on a number-8 diameter shank, suited to a wide range of standard tapped holes. Overall length under head is 7/8 inches. Trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service routinely use fasteners of this type when assembling or field-repairing equipment panels, brackets, and enclosures.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty fastening tasks where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include securing access panels, mounting small components to equipment frames, and replacing fasteners on commercial or residential mechanical systems. The 8-32 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common sizes found in equipment manufactured to inch-standard specifications, making this a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventories.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-specification tapped holes
• 9/16 inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex key tools
• 7/8 inch length under head suits shallow to medium engagement depths
• Recessed socket head profile allows installation in tight or countersunk clearances

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-standard coarse-thread fastener with a recessed hex drive in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install with a correctly sized 9/16 inch hex key or hex bit driver to avoid rounding the socket. De-energize and lock out equipment before replacing fasteners on electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Apply an anti-seize compound when threading stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Do not overtighten; stainless steel fasteners are softer than hardened steel and are susceptible to thread damage under excessive torque.
