Value Collection R63003449 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63003449 is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a clean, low-profile fastener with reliable torque transfer. Threaded to the 8-32 UNC standard, this screw measures 5/8 inches under the head and accepts a 9/64 inch hex drive. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, providing strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical-exposed, or marine environments. Mechanical contractors, plumbers, electricians, and industrial maintenance technicians use this fastener type where a standard slotted or Phillips drive is not appropriate and a flush or recessed installation is required.

This screw is suited for use in panel assembly, equipment mounting, and component fastening across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical applications. The 8-32 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-series inch thread, making this screw compatible with a broad range of tapped holes in metal brackets, enclosures, and equipment frames. The 316 stainless steel material grade performs well in corrosive or high-moisture environments where lower-grade fasteners would degrade over time.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped metal components
• 5/8 inch length under head for moderate-depth fastening applications
• 9/64 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen wrenches
• 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to 18-8 or carbon steel grades
• Low-profile cap head allows flush or near-flush installation in tight clearance areas

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-purpose fastener for any application using 8-32 UNC tapped holes requiring a hex socket cap screw.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/64 inch hex key or appropriately sized socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. When installing into dissimilar metals, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer specifications for fastener torque requirements.
