Value Collection R40666486 Hex Socket Cap Screw 6-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40666486 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a compact drive recess and reliable thread engagement. Sized at 6-32 UNC with a 7/8-inch length under the head, this screw accepts a 7/64-inch hex key drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light outdoor environments. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors use socket cap screws like this one when fastening panels, brackets, or equipment enclosures where a flush or recessed fastener head is required.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty mechanical assembly tasks across a range of trade applications, including electrical panel work, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture brackets, and general equipment fabrication. The 6-32 UNC thread is a standard unified coarse pitch commonly found in sheet metal assemblies, electrical enclosures, and instrumentation hardware. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 6-32 UNC thread for standard unified coarse pitch fitment
• 7/8-inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• 7/64-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in general-purpose environments
• Low individual weight of 0.005 pounds per piece keeps assembly weight minimal

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for general mechanical assembly, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and instrumentation applications where an 18-8 stainless steel fastener with a 7/64-inch hex drive is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/64-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the screw to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 material is susceptible to galling when driven under excessive torque. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before inserting or removing fasteners in live panel or enclosure work, following applicable NEC guidelines.
