Value Collection 011195P Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011195P is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread size with a 1/2-inch length under head and is fully threaded along its shank. The 1/4-inch internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen-style socket for installation. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, the fastener offers improved corrosion resistance and a clean, finished appearance. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for structural and precision fastening applications where dimensional and strength compliance are required.

This cap screw is suited for light-to-medium-duty mechanical assemblies, machine components, jigs, fixtures, and equipment maintenance applications. The 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread pattern engages quickly and holds well in steel, aluminum, and tapped through-holes. Fully threaded geometry makes it especially useful in shorter-length fastening scenarios where maximum thread engagement is needed. Maintenance technicians, machine builders, and fabricators commonly use this type of screw in both production and field-repair contexts.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 1/2-inch length under head
• 1/4-inch hex drive accommodates standard hex keys and hex socket drivers
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for structural fastening
• Black oxide finish offers moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light glare on exposed hardware
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards for dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC threaded fastener with a 1/2-inch length under head and 1/4-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated hex key or hex socket driver sized to 1/4 inch. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. De-energize or lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Do not exceed the rated torque range for the fastener diameter and material grade.
