Value Collection 011207P Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011207P is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive and a clean, low-profile head. Sized at 5/16-18 UNC with a 1-1/2 inch length under head, this fastener is driven by a 1/4 inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers improved corrosion resistance over bare steel and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, machine frames, and structural connections where high tensile strength is required in a compact fastener profile.

This screw is used in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and light manufacturing environments. Typical applications include machine tool assembly, equipment mounting, conveyor systems, and general mechanical fabrication. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread configuration that threads into tapped holes or nuts across a broad range of material types, including steel, aluminum, and cast iron. Installers working in HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and plumbing equipment manufacturing commonly use this size.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC fully threaded alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• 1-1/2 inch length under head provides adequate grip for standard panel and bracket thicknesses
• 1/4 inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and hex bit drivers
• Black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection in service environments
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards for dimensional and mechanical conformance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or nut conforming to UNC coarse-thread specifications in that size class.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/4 inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before installation. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or threadlocker as required by the assembly specification. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations in live electrical or mechanical systems.
