Value Collection 014491BR Hex Socket Cap Screw 1-8 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014491BR is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a secure, high-torque fastening solution. It features a 1-8 UNC thread size with a 2-inch length under head and accepts a 3/4-inch hex drive. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this screw provides strong corrosion resistance in demanding environments including marine, chemical-processing, and outdoor installations. The socket drive style allows for high clamp force in confined spaces where a wrench cannot reach. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians routinely specify this type of fastener in structural and mechanical assemblies.

This cap screw is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and trade applications where corrosion resistance and tensile strength are critical. Typical installations include equipment frames, pump housings, valve bodies, pipe flanges, and structural brackets. The 316 stainless steel grade offers superior resistance to chlorides compared to 304, making it a common choice in wastewater, food-processing, and coastal environments. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-piece replacements or low-volume maintenance jobs.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC thread size for standard coarse-pitch fastening applications
• 2-inch length under head provides sufficient grip for thick-section assemblies
• 3/4-inch hex socket drive allows high torque input with standard Allen or hex-key tooling
• 316 stainless steel construction delivers excellent corrosion and chloride resistance
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and is compatible with standard stainless fastener specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service hex socket cap screw for equipment and assemblies specifying 1-8 UNC coarse-thread fasteners in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a 3/4-inch hex key or Allen driver. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Use appropriate anti-seize compound on stainless fasteners to prevent galling during installation and removal. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications and applicable industry standards for the assembly being serviced.
