Value Collection R52000978 Hex Head Machine Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52000978 is a 10-32 hex head machine screw designed for general-purpose fastening in metalworking, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, and light mechanical assemblies. The screw measures 0.5 inches in length under head and features a hex drive for use with a standard hex wrench or socket. Constructed from steel with a zinc finish, it provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty applications. It conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82, making it a traceable, specification-grade fastener for applications that require documented standards compliance.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial equipment assembly, panel mounting, and component attachment where a 10-32 thread pitch is specified. Common applications include electrical enclosure assembly, control board mounting, HVAC unit panel fastening, and general sheet metal work. The hex drive style allows access in confined spaces where a Phillips or slotted driver cannot engage cleanly. This item is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order, making it appropriate for shop stock, service van restocking, or production assembly use.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for secure engagement in tapped holes and threaded inserts
• Hex head with hex drive for wrench or socket installation in tight clearance areas
• Zinc-finished steel construction for corrosion resistance in indoor environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.6.3 and SAE J82 for specification-grade traceability
• No washer — installs flush against the mating surface without a built-in bearing flange
• Sold per piece with a minimum order quantity of 100 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 machine screw replacement or stocking fastener for any application requiring an ASME B18.6.3 compliant hex head hex drive screw with 0.5 inches of thread engagement under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a hex wrench or appropriately sized socket driver sized to the hex head. Verify the mating thread is 10-32 before installation to avoid cross-threading or stripping. Do not overtighten into thin sheet metal panels — torque to the specification defined by the equipment manufacturer. Always de-energize electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured by these fasteners.
