Value Collection R48622862 Low Socket Cap Screw 6-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622862 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where a reduced head height is required without sacrificing holding strength. This fastener features a 6-32 UNC thread and measures 3/8 inches in length under the head. The hex socket drive accepts a 1/16-inch hex key for installation. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and light trade use. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors commonly use low socket cap screws when panel depth, bracket clearance, or flush-mount requirements prohibit a standard-height cap screw head.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact fastener profile is necessary. Typical uses include panel assembly, equipment bracket mounting, and component fastening in confined spaces. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces, making it practical for service kits and small assembly jobs.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile reduces required clearance compared to standard socket cap screws
• 6-32 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with common tapped holes in trade equipment
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor use
• 1/16-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with a standard hex key or Allen wrench
• Length measured under head at 3/8 inches for accurate fitment in shallow fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose inch-series low socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 6-32 UNC threaded fastener with a reduced head height profile.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/16-inch hex key or matching Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. De-energize any equipment and follow applicable lockout/tagout procedures before accessing fastener locations inside electrical or mechanical panels. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when fastening stainless to stainless threads.
