Value Collection 014122PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014122PS is a 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. Machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw provides strong resistance to moisture, chlorides, and chemical exposure. The 1/4-inch hex drive socket accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench. The length under the head measures 1-3/4 inches. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, pipefitters, and field service pros reach for Grade 316 hardware in wet, marine, and chemical environments where carbon steel or lower-grade stainless would corrode prematurely.

This cap screw is suited for light industrial, commercial, and process-equipment applications where corrosion resistance is a primary requirement. Typical install scenarios include pipe supports, equipment panels, pump housings, pool and water-treatment equipment, food-service fixtures, and marine fittings. The 5/16-18 UNC thread form is the standard coarse-thread series and mates with any properly tapped or threaded 5/16-18 UNC female thread.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments
• 5/16-18 UNC coarse-thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head for secure clamping depth in typical fastening applications
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard hex keys and Allen-head drivers
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to flake, chip, or introduce contamination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring a Grade 316 stainless steel fastener with a 1-3/4-inch length under head and 1/4-inch hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated hex key or Allen-head driver sized to the 1/4-inch socket. Always verify thread engagement depth against the receiving material before final torque to avoid stripping or bottoming out. De-energize or depressurize any equipment before replacing fasteners on live systems. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the joint material and fastener grade.
