Value Collection R82232949 Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232949 is a 10-32 socket cap screw designed for precision fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment enclosures, and structural components. Built from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw delivers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and trade applications. The socket cap head accepts a 5/32 inch hex key drive for reliable torque engagement in tight or recessed spaces. At 1-1/4 inches length under head, it fits a wide range of standard panel and bracket thicknesses. Licensed tradespeople and MRO technicians working on HVAC equipment, electrical panels, and plumbing fixtures will find this a dependable fastener choice.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty mechanical fastening in residential and commercial trade applications. Common install scenarios include securing control board brackets, motor mounts, panel covers, and equipment enclosures where a flush or low-profile cap head is required. The 10-32 unified fine thread pitch provides strong clamping force in metal-to-metal or tapped-hole applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moderate moisture exposure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified technicians using a 5/32 inch hex key or T-handle allen driver. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before replacing fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies per applicable NFPA 70E procedures. Do not over-torque into tapped aluminum or plastic threads, as 18-8 stainless can gall; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Verify thread engagement depth before final torque.
