Value Collection R64406842 Hex Socket Cap Screw 8-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R64406842 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment repairs, and general industrial applications. It features an 8-32 UNC thread size and a 9/64-inch hex drive, requiring an Allen key or hex bit driver for installation and removal. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener offers corrosion resistance suitable for use in environments where mild moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. The 3/8-inch length under head provides a compact profile appropriate for close-tolerance assemblies.

This screw is suited for use in light-duty mechanical, electrical, and plumbing panel assemblies where an 8-32 UNC threaded fastener is specified. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for indoor and mildly corrosive environments. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and equipment service professionals securing access panels, brackets, and component mounts. This part is sold individually but is subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 8-32 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 9/64-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in mild service environments
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains close dimensional tolerances
• 3/8-inch length under head suits shallow-depth fastening applications
• Lightweight at 0.003 pounds per fastener, appropriate for compact assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex socket cap screw compatible with any 8-32 UNC tapped hole requiring a 3/8-inch-under-head fastener length.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized 9/64-inch hex key or hex bit driver to avoid rounding the socket drive. De-energize electrical panels and shut off relevant systems before replacing fasteners on live equipment. Apply consistent torque by hand to avoid cross-threading the 8-32 UNC threads, particularly in aluminum or softer base materials. Fastener installation in structural applications should comply with applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications.
