Product Description
6-32 UNC A2 Stainless Steel Countersunk Socket Set Screws
These 6-32 UNC countersunk socket set screws feature a flat countersunk head with an internal hexagon drive. When installed into a correctly prepared countersink, the head can sit flush with the surrounding surface for a neat, obstruction-free finish.
Manufactured from A2 stainless steel, these screws provide good general-purpose corrosion resistance for engineering, machinery, automotive, electrical equipment, fabrication and maintenance applications. The No.6 coarse UNC thread has 32 threads per inch.

Selection and installation
- Confirm that the mating component has a 6-32 UNC thread.
- Do not confuse 6-32 UNC with other numbered Unified thread sizes.
- Use the correct imperial hex key and ensure it is fully inserted before tightening.
- Prepare the mating component with the appropriate 82-degree countersink where a flush finish is required.
- Consider a suitable anti-galling lubricant when assembling stainless-steel threaded components.
- Countersunk heads generally have a lower load capacity than equivalent socket-cap heads, so follow the application’s specified tightening requirements.
