Value Collection R82232822 Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-24 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232822 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in applications where a low-profile head and recessed drive are required. Sized at 10-24 UNC threading with a 5/32 inch hex drive and a 7/8 inch length under head, this fastener is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 18-8 alloy provides good corrosion resistance alongside solid mechanical strength, making it a dependable choice in environments where moisture or mild chemical exposure is a concern. Machinists, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance professionals routinely spec this fastener type for panel, bracket, and equipment assembly work.

This screw is suited for light industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly applications. The 10-24 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard found in electrical enclosures, control panel hardware, HVAC equipment frames, and machine guards. The hex socket drive accepts a standard 5/32 inch ball-end or straight hex key, allowing installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations where a conventional slotted or Phillips driver cannot reach. It is appropriate for use in both indoor and sheltered outdoor environments given the stainless steel construction.

Key Features

• 10-24 UNC coarse thread — widely compatible with standard tapped holes in panels, brackets, and equipment frames
• 5/32 inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and ball-end drivers
• 7/8 inch length under head suits moderate-depth through-hole and tapped-hole applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moisture-prone environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or contaminate sensitive assemblies
• Conforms to fastener standard 16995-39d

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-24 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a coarse-thread, socket-drive fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/32 inch hex key or T-handle driver; a torque wrench with a hex bit is recommended where consistent clamp load is required. De-energize any electrical equipment or power down machinery before accessing fastener locations on live panels or moving assemblies. Avoid cross-threading by starting the screw by hand before applying torque. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when installing into stainless tapped holes.
