Value Collection R82232899 Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232899 is a 10-32 socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a compact, high-profile fastener with reliable clamping force. Featuring a hex socket drive requiring a 5/32 inch hex key, this screw seats cleanly in confined spaces where a conventional wrench cannot reach. The socket cap head profile distributes load effectively at the bearing surface. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. Length under head is 0.5 inches. This fastener is appropriate for mechanical assemblies, instrumentation panels, enclosures, and general maintenance work across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trade applications.

This 10-32 socket cap screw suits residential and light commercial applications where a fine-thread fastener is specified. It is commonly installed in equipment panels, brackets, terminal blocks, and sheet metal assemblies. Trade professionals including HVAC technicians, electricians, and plumbers use this style of fastener when reassembling access panels, mounting control components, or securing hardware in tight-clearance locations. The stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in environments with moisture exposure or where dissimilar metal contact requires a corrosion-resistant fastener. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32 inch hex key or Allen driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on live electrical or HVAC enclosures. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners into tapped stainless or aluminum threads, as galling can occur; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if repeated removal is expected. Follow applicable NEC or equipment manufacturer torque guidance for panel and enclosure fasteners.
