Value Collection R48622800 Low Head Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622800 is a low head socket cap screw designed for applications where a standard-height cap screw head would interfere with adjacent components or clearances. Threaded 6-32 UNC with a 1/4 inch length under head, this fastener uses a hex socket drive requiring a 1/16 inch hex key for installation and removal. The low socket cap head profile makes it well suited for close-tolerance assemblies in mechanical, electronic, and instrumentation work. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance and adequate strength for light-duty threaded applications.

This screw is used where low-profile fastening is required in tight or recessed spaces — common in panel assemblies, enclosures, electronic hardware, HVAC control boards, and precision equipment. The 6-32 UNC thread is a standard coarse thread pattern widely used in instrument-grade and light mechanical assemblies. Installers working in industrial, electrical, or mechanical trades will encounter this thread size frequently in equipment requiring metric-clearance-height fasteners. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile for tight-clearance installations
• 6-32 UNC coarse thread standard for broad compatibility
• 1/4 inch length under head for shallow fastening depth
• Hex socket drive requires 1/16 inch hex key
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for assemblies using 6-32 UNC low head socket cap screws with a 1/4 inch grip length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/16 inch hex key or matching hex socket bit. Ensure threads are clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading. Do not overtorque — stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling; applying a small amount of anti-seize compound is standard practice for stainless-to-stainless thread engagement. Power down any electrical assembly before servicing fasteners on live equipment.
