10-32 x 3/4 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert is a stainless socket cap screw for assemblies that combine cleaning exposure with motion or vibration. 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. 18-8 stainless is a practical choice for ordinary moisture exposure, washdown-adjacent machinery, and equipment where a clean stainless finish is specified.
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 has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and helps source exact stainless sizes and uncommon lengths. The 1960 Series name identifies the modern ASME B18.3 head-proportion standard for socket head cap screws, successor to the older 1936 series, not a year of manufacture.
