Value Collection R64406640 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R64406640 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications where a flush or low-profile head profile is required. It features a 10-32 UNF thread specification and a 0.5 inch length under head, making it suitable for moderate-depth fastening in tight assemblies. The 5/32 inch hex drive allows precise torque application with a standard hex key or Allen driver. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw resists corrosion in environments where moisture or mild chemicals are present. It is installed by maintenance technicians, assemblers, and tradespeople working with electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment, panel assemblies, and general mechanical hardware.

This screw is commonly used in light to medium-duty mechanical assemblies requiring fine-thread engagement in steel, aluminum, or thermoplastic components. The 10-32 UNF thread form provides greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread fasteners, making it a preferred choice in thin-material applications. Typical installation scenarios include securing control boards, brackets, equipment housings, and access panels in HVAC, electrical, and related trade equipment. The uncoated stainless steel finish makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor-rated enclosures where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fine thread for high thread engagement in thin materials
• 0.5 inch length under head suits moderate-depth through and tapped-hole applications
• 5/32 inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and T-handle Allen drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without plating
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerance at the drive and thread

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for use in mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment housings, and other applications requiring a fine-thread stainless steel fastener with a 5/32 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-tightening with a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen driver before applying final torque. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and properly tapped to 10-32 UNF specification before installation. Do not cross-thread or overtighten, as 18-8 stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven into stainless tapped holes without lubrication. Apply an anti-seize compound to the thread when fastening stainless to stainless to prevent thread seizure.
