Value Collection R82232964 Socket Cap Screw 10-32

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82232964 is a 10-32 socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a compact, high-profile head and reliable clamping force. The screw features a hex socket drive sized at 5/32 inches, accepting a standard Allen key for installation and removal. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it resists corrosion in mildly wet and chemically exposed environments. The length under head measures 3/8 inches, making it well suited for shallow fastening applications where a standard socket cap head profile is required. This fastener meets the Fastener Standard 16996-9d and is sold in minimum order quantities of 10 units.

This socket cap screw is commonly used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, panel mounting, equipment enclosures, and precision fixturing across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial trade work. Its 10-32 unified fine thread provides good thread engagement in thin materials and tapped holes. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations subject to moisture exposure or environments where corrosion resistance is a priority over high tensile strength.

Key Features

• 10-32 unified fine thread for reliable engagement in tapped holes
• 5/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and mildly chemical environments
• Bright, uncoated finish suitable where coating thickness tolerance is critical
• Compact 3/8-inch length under head fits shallow fastening applications
• Meets Fastener Standard 16996-9d

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock fastener for assemblies requiring a 10-32 socket cap screw with a 3/8-inch length under head in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading the 10-32 fine thread. Apply thread lubricant appropriate for stainless fasteners if galling is a concern, as 18-8 stainless is susceptible to galling under high-torque conditions. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing internal fasteners on electrical or HVAC assemblies.
