Value Collection R56000746 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000746 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications where corrosion resistance and thread precision are critical. Threaded to 10-32 UNF specification, this screw features a 5/32-inch hex drive and a 1.5-inch length under head. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, providing strong resistance to rust, chemical exposure, and high-moisture environments. The socket cap head style allows for installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach. This fastener is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and plumbing or HVAC component mounting where stainless hardware is specified.

This screw is appropriate for light industrial, commercial, and mechanical service applications requiring fine-thread UNF fasteners. The 10-32 UNF thread pitch is common in instrument panels, electrical enclosures, HVAC control assemblies, and precision mechanical equipment. The 316 stainless steel grade makes it a strong choice for marine-adjacent, outdoor, or chemically active environments where standard steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Technicians installing control boards, mounting brackets, or panel components will find this screw a reliable choice when stainless hardware is called out on a spec sheet or service manual.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread for precision fit in fine-thread applications
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tools
• 1.5-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening tasks
• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemical environments
• Socket cap head style allows installation in tight or recessed spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and panel fastening applications that specify 316 stainless steel hardware.

Installation Notes

This fastener is typically installed by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, or mechanical service professionals using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Always de-energize electrical equipment and shut off system power before replacing or installing fasteners on control panels or enclosures. Avoid cross-threading by starting the screw by hand before applying torque. Do not use power tools without a clutch setting appropriate for small stainless fasteners, as galling is a common risk with 316 stainless threads.
