Value Collection R82232906 10-32 Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232906 is a 10-32 socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications requiring a compact, high-strength connection. The screw features a hex socket drive and a socket cap head profile, accepting a 5/32-inch hex key for installation. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposed, or outdoor environments. The 1-1/2-inch length under head suits medium-depth through-hole and tapped-hole assemblies. Licensed trades, MRO professionals, and equipment fabricators use this screw where standard Phillips or slotted heads are not acceptable and torque control is required.

This socket cap screw is suited for light mechanical assemblies, machine frames, enclosures, panels, and equipment that requires a flush or low-profile fastener with a secure hex-drive engagement. The 10-32 unified fine thread provides strong thread engagement in thin or tapped metal components. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for food-processing, HVAC, plumbing, and marine-adjacent applications where fastener corrosion would compromise assembly integrity or require frequent replacement.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for strong engagement in tapped metal
• 1-1/2-inch length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and thread fit
• Hex socket drive accepts a 5/32-inch hex key for controlled torque application
• Meets fastener standard 16996-16d

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 socket cap screw for use in any tapped or through-hole assembly requiring a hex socket drive fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 5/32-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid galling, which is common with stainless fasteners. Apply an anti-seize compound to the threads if repeated removal is expected. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fasteners on electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies.
