Value Collection R82232844 Socket Cap Screw 2-56 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232844 is a 2-56 socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where a low-profile, high-strength connection is required. The screw features a socket cap head driven by a 5/64-inch hex key and is machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. At 0.5 inches length under head with a 2-56 thread size, this fastener is suited for fine-threaded assemblies in tight spaces. The 18-8 stainless grade provides solid corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for both indoor and moderate outdoor environments. Installed by machinists, mechanical assemblers, and field technicians working on instrumentation, electronics enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies.

This socket cap screw is used in small-diameter precision fastening applications across commercial and industrial settings. Typical installations include instrument panels, electronic enclosures, HVAC control boards, small mechanical linkages, and any assembly requiring a fine 2-56 thread pitch. The hex socket drive allows torque application in confined spaces where a standard screwdriver or open-end wrench cannot seat properly. The bright uncoated finish keeps dimensional tolerances tight and avoids coating buildup in threaded holes.

Key Features

• 2-56 thread size for fine-pitch, small-diameter fastening
• 0.5 inches length under head for shallow to moderate material engagement
• Socket cap head with 5/64-inch hex socket drive for torque in tight spaces
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains precise thread tolerances
• Conforms to fastener standard 16995-4d

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-56 socket cap screw suitable for any threaded assembly or tapped hole requiring a 2-56 thread pitch with a 0.5-inch grip length.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 5/64-inch hex key or ball-end driver; using an undersized or worn key risks rounding the socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not overtighten small-diameter stainless fasteners, as galling can occur on stainless-to-stainless thread contact; applying a small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads is a common field practice. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces per order.
