Value Collection R48622349 Low Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622349 is a low socket cap hex screw designed for fastening applications where a reduced-profile head is required. It features a 3/32-inch hex socket drive and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing reliable corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor service environments. The thread specification is 10-32 UNF with a 3/8-inch length measured under the head. This fastener is suited for mechanical assemblies, enclosure panels, and equipment where standard socket cap head height creates clearance conflicts. Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or T-handle driver.

This screw is commonly used in light-duty mechanical and electrical assemblies, HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture hardware, and industrial enclosures where a flush or low-profile fastener seating is necessary. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch makes it compatible with standard unified fine-thread tapped holes of the same specification. It is appropriate for applications requiring stainless steel fasteners to resist moisture, mild chemicals, or washdown conditions. Sold in minimum order quantities of 25 pieces, this item suits shops and technicians who stock fasteners in bulk for recurring service work.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any tapped or threaded insert hole conforming to the 10-32 UNF standard in inch-measurement fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/32-inch hex key or ball-end driver; ensure the driver is fully seated in the socket before applying torque to avoid cam-out and socket damage. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastened panels or covers per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Inspect the mating threaded hole for damage or debris before driving the screw. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in applications where galvanic corrosion may occur without appropriate isolation.
