6-32 x 7/8 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert serves equipment that needs top-side socket access and a built-in prevailing-torque feature. The pellet presses against the mating thread to provide prevailing torque without changing the socket head geometry.

Typical applications include washdown conveyors, stainless equipment frames, and guarded production machinery, where the exact thread and length help match drawings, service records, and replacement needs. The 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material is used for general corrosion resistance and a clean appearance in ordinary industrial environments.

For torque-once joints where a locking pellet is not required, plain 18-8 Socket Head Cap Screws may be the simpler routing. Cold Headers installs nylon inserts in-house for supported socket-cap configurations, with odd-size sourcing handled through the quote process.
