Specify 10-32 x 4 1/2 18-8 Stainless Steel Hex Head Cap Screw when thread, length, material, and external hex drive must match an existing bill of materials. In this size range it is treated as a hex head machine screw, with the hex head driven by external tooling rather than an internal socket.
Common application reviews include maintenance replacement work, field repairs, and production equipment. External hex drive is useful when a wrench or socket can reach the head from the side and a counterbore would add unnecessary machining.
