Value Collection R52000100 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000100 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical, electrical, and industrial assemblies. The screw features a 10-32 UNF thread — a fine-thread designation common in instrumentation, panel work, and light structural connections — with a 3-inch length measured under the head. Drive engagement is through a 5/32-inch hex socket (Allen key). Material is 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, providing corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and moderate outdoor service. Installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals wherever a low-profile socket cap head is required.

This fastener suits applications across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies where a UNF fine-thread fit is specified. The socket cap head style allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations where a hex wrench can access the drive but a standard bolt head would interfere. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for precise, vibration-resistant engagement
• 3-inch length under head for deeper reach in thicker assemblies
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to flake or interfere with tight tolerances
• Socket cap head profile allows installation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF replacement or service fastener for any assembly specifying a 10-32 fine-thread socket cap screw with a 3-inch length under head and 5/32-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install with a calibrated 5/32-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Confirm mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving to avoid galling, which is a common risk with stainless steel fasteners — apply an anti-seize compound if required by the assembly spec. De-energize any electrical equipment before accessing fastened panels or enclosures. Do not exceed the thread engagement depth of the mating material.
