Value Collection R57001024 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001024 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. Threaded 8-32 UNC, this fastener features a 9/64-inch hex drive socket head and a 1-1/8-inch length under head. It is constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, providing solid corrosion resistance in moderate environments. This screw is suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors who need a reliable, reusable fastener for panel, equipment, or bracket work. The socket-drive design allows for torque application in confined spaces where a standard hex head wrench cannot reach.

This screw is a general-purpose fastener appropriate for residential and light commercial applications. It works well in control panel assemblies, equipment enclosures, brackets, and similar sheet metal or machined-part installations where an 8-32 UNC thread pattern is called out. The stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in damp or corrosion-prone environments such as utility rooms, mechanical chases, or outdoor enclosures.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive for use with Allen keys or hex bit drivers in tight clearances
• 1-1/8-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without coating
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy at the thread and drive interface

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring this thread size and drive type.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a correctly sized 9/64-inch hex key or socket bit driver to avoid rounding the drive recess. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before accessing internal panels or enclosures. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer guidelines when fastening within electrical enclosures. Avoid cross-threading by hand-starting the screw before applying torque.
