Value Collection R57001021 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001021 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, low-profile fastening in applications where a standard hex head is not practical. Featuring an 8-32 UNC thread and a 9/64-inch internal hex drive, this fastener accepts an Allen wrench or hex key for installation. The body is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, providing solid corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor service environments. The 1/8-inch length under head makes it well suited for thin-material assemblies, fixtures, and equipment panels where thread engagement depth is limited. Licensed tradespeople and equipment technicians install this fastener type across a wide range of mechanical and electrical applications.

This screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment enclosures, electrical panels, pump housings, pool equipment frames, and general mechanical assemblies requiring a compact, flush-seated fastener. The 8-32 UNC coarse thread pattern provides reliable engagement in tapped holes in sheet metal, aluminum, and steel components. The stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in humid or wet service conditions such as pool equipment rooms or outdoor enclosures. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes in light-gauge metals
• 9/64-inch hex drive accepts standard Allen wrench or hex key
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 1/8-inch length under head suits thin-material and flush-mount assemblies
• Bright, uncoated finish with no plating to degrade or flake over time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for equipment and assemblies using 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screws with a 1/8-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated hex key or Allen wrench sized to 9/64 inch. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not over-torque stainless steel fasteners into aluminum or soft metal components, as galling can occur. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations inside live electrical or control enclosures.
