8-32 x 1/4 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 100qty
Features
- Supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade-5 or Grade-8 hex head cap screws while requiring less surface area or counterbore since the fastener is intenally wrenched.
- Elongation is 10% minimum (applies to machined specimens of lenglh at least 4D where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw) and Reduction of Area is 33% minimum (applies to machined specimens)
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- 8-32 Diameter, 1/4" Length
- Alloy Steel Black Material
Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request | Cap screws of a length 3D or greater, where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw, are subject to tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area testing.

Metallics JSHC814 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How strong is an alloy steel socket head cap screw compared to a Grade 8 hex head screw?
The Metallics SHC alloy steel screw is rated 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, with a Rockwell C39 hardness. That is higher tensile than equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws, which is the reason to use a socket head here when the joint is loaded.
2) Will a black alloy steel cap screw hold up outdoors or in a wet location?
The finish is plain black on alloy steel, not a plated or galvanized corrosion coating. Use it for dry indoor electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work where strength matters; for exposed outdoor or damp locations choose a zinc plated or stainless fastener instead.
3) Is the Metallics JSHC814 cap screw Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The JSHC814 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this screw will not satisfy it.
4) What hex key do I need to drive the Metallics JSHC814?
It takes a hex (Allen) key in the socket, not a screwdriver. Socket depth is 0.077 in. Carry a standard SAE hex key set on the truck and you will have the right size for an 8-32 socket head.
5) Does the Metallics socket head cap screw meet ASME B18.3?
Yes, the dimensional standard for this SHC series screw is ASME B18.3-2012, the socket head cap screw standard. That is the spec to reference if a submittal or drawing calls out B18.3 dimensions.
6) How are these 8-32 cap screws packaged and what is the minimum order?
They ship in a jar, with a 100-piece minimum. Weight of the packaged jar is 0.27 lbs. Other sizes and quantities are available by request.
