Value Collection R63006969 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63006969 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional precision matter. Threaded to 8-32 UNC with a 1/2-inch length under the head, this fastener is driven by a 9/64-inch hex key. The body is machined from 316 stainless steel, a marine-grade alloy that resists chlorides, acids, and high-humidity environments better than standard 304 material. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and equipment installers reach for this screw when assembling panels, enclosures, and mechanical components that will see moisture or chemical exposure over time.

This fastener is suited for light to medium-duty assemblies in residential and commercial trade work. Common install scenarios include securing electrical enclosure hardware, mounting brackets in HVAC equipment, plumbing fixture components, and pool or spa equipment enclosures where salt water or chemical vapors are present. The unified coarse thread (UNC) pattern provides strong thread engagement in tapped metal, making it a reliable choice for steel, aluminum, and thermoplastic substrates.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in trade equipment
• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, marine, and chemical environments
• 9/64-inch hex drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex-bit drivers
• 1/2-inch length under head suits thin panel and bracket assemblies
• Socket cap head style allows installation in confined or recessed spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert meeting ANSI 8-32 specifications. Suitable as a direct replacement or upgrade in mechanical assemblies, enclosures, and equipment panels that require a 1/2-inch length under head fastener.

Installation Notes

A licensed or qualified technician should de-energize electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before replacing or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Use a calibrated hex key or socket bit driver sized to 9/64 inch to avoid rounding the drive socket. Fastener installation in pressurized or structural applications should follow applicable codes, including NEC guidelines for electrical enclosures. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in submerged or high-conductivity environments without accounting for galvanic compatibility.
