Value Collection R48622921 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622921 is a low socket cap hex socket screw designed for applications where a reduced-profile head is required. Sized at 8-32 UNC thread with a 3/4-inch length measured under the head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. The 5/64-inch hex socket drive allows installation with a standard hex key or Allen driver. It is suited for mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, and equipment fabrication where a flush or recessed low-profile head is necessary. Trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work will find this a dependable general-purpose fastener.

This screw is commonly used in light to medium-duty assemblies requiring a low-clearance head profile. The 8-32 UNC thread pitch makes it compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts found in sheet metal enclosures, instrument panels, and equipment housings. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor or moderate-exposure environments where mild corrosion resistance is needed. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces per order.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by mechanical and maintenance trades using a 5/64-inch hex key or Allen driver. Always ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; applying an anti-seize compound is recommended where repeated removal is anticipated. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment codes for fastener torque and material requirements.
