Value Collection SHN-1032-1-AS Hex Socket Cap Screw 10-32 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SHN-1032-1-AS is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand a compact drive head and reliable clamping force. It features a 10-32 UNF thread with a 1-inch length under head and is fully threaded from the head to the tip. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to plain steel while maintaining the high tensile strength expected in mechanical and structural assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians specify this screw type across HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and mechanical system brackets.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where a low-profile, recessed hex drive is required. Common uses include securing equipment access panels, control board mounting hardware, motor brackets, and junction box covers. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full 1-inch grip length, making it well-suited for thin-material fastening or through-hole assemblies where a nut is used on the opposite side.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• 1-inch length under head accommodates standard panel and bracket thicknesses
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for mechanical assemblies
• Black oxide coating improves corrosion resistance and reduces surface reflectivity
• Hex socket drive allows installation in confined spaces where wrenching clearance is limited

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10-32 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring this thread standard and drive type, including HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using the correct size hex key or T-handle hex driver to avoid stripping the socket. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before fastening. Power down or de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on electrical or HVAC enclosures. Apply thread engagement of at least 1.5 times the screw diameter into a tapped hole for reliable clamping force.
