Value Collection 014161PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014161PS is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical, structural, and industrial assembly applications. Threaded to 1/4-20 UNC specifications, it measures 7/8 inches under the head and is driven by a 5/16-inch hex key. Constructed from 316-grade stainless steel, this screw offers strong corrosion resistance, making it suitable for wet, marine, or chemically exposed environments. It is a standard fastener used by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, equipment builders, and trade professionals across a wide range of industries.

This cap screw is appropriate for general-purpose fastening in residential and commercial mechanical systems, equipment enclosures, structural brackets, and corrosion-sensitive assemblies. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common unified coarse thread sizes, allowing straightforward integration into tapped holes and standard threaded inserts. The 316 stainless steel grade provides added resistance to chlorides and pitting compared to 304 stainless, making this screw a strong choice for coastal, pool, or chemical-processing environments.

Key Features

• 316-grade stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and inserts
• 7/8-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 5/16-inch hex drive allows use with standard hex keys and Allen wrenches
• Socket cap head design provides a low-profile, flush-mount appearance with high clamping strength

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for any assembly requiring a 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 7/8-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical technicians or maintenance professionals using a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen driver. De-energize any electrical or pressurized system before accessing fastened components. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel threads to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque and fastener specifications.
