Value Collection R57001022 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001022 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in applications where a flush or recessed head profile is required. Threaded to 8-32 UNC specifications, it features a 9/64 inch internal hex drive and a 7/16 inch length under the head. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and precision component mounting where standard Phillips or slotted fasteners are not appropriate.

This socket cap screw is commonly used in light industrial assemblies, instrument enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical fabrication. The 8-32 UNC thread pattern is a standard coarse-thread size widely found in sheet metal, extruded aluminum framing, and threaded inserts. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for both indoor and outdoor installations where moisture exposure is a factor.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts
• 9/64 inch hex drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 7/16 inch length under head suits shallow to moderate fastening depth requirements
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerance on threads

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC socket cap screw suitable for tapped holes, threaded inserts, and hex nut assemblies requiring a 9/64 inch hex drive across general mechanical and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/64 inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling of the threads can occur; apply an anti-seize compound if the fastener may need to be removed in the future. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards for torque guidance based on material and joint requirements.
