Value Collection R57001026 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001026 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and consistent thread engagement. Sized at 8-32 UNC with a 3.5-inch length under the head, this screw accepts a 9/64-inch hex drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, making it suited for environments where bare metal performance is preferred. Tradespeople and assemblers working on HVAC equipment, electrical panels, plumbing fixtures, and general mechanical assemblies commonly reach for this fastener size and specification.

This cap screw fits residential and light commercial applications wherever a machine screw with a recessed hex drive socket is required. The 8-32 UNC thread is a common unified coarse thread standard found across HVAC control enclosures, electrical junction boxes, pump housings, and equipment panels. The 3.5-inch length under the head suits through-bolting of moderate-thickness assemblies. No specific OEM model compatibility is stated for this SKU.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in trade equipment
• 3.5 inches of usable thread length under the head for through-bolt applications
• 9/64-inch hex drive socket — requires standard Allen or hex key driver
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp or outdoor service environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to crack, chip, or interfere with thread fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing assembly applications requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand or with a hex key driver sized to the 9/64-inch socket. Verify that the mating tapped hole is clean, free of debris, and correctly sized for 8-32 UNC threads before driving the fastener. Apply appropriate thread-locking compound or anti-seize if required by the application or equipment manufacturer. De-energize and isolate any electrical or mechanical system before accessing fastener locations inside live equipment.
