Value Collection 10044CH2 Hex Head Cap Screw 1-8 X 2-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10044CH2 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in structural, mechanical, and maintenance applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener measures 1-8 thread size with a 2-3/4 inch length under the head. The unified coarse thread (UNC) pattern provides reliable engagement across a wide range of standard tapped holes and nuts. At 0.85 pounds, it carries meaningful clamping load for its size. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance mechanics reach for Grade 2 zinc-plated hardware when corrosion resistance and moderate tensile strength are the priority over high-strength alloy grades.

This cap screw suits residential and light commercial construction, equipment assembly, and general fabrication work where UNC fasteners are specified. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads while the threaded section locks into the mating nut or tapped hole. It is a common choice for wood-to-metal connections, frame assemblies, and machinery mounting where Grade 2 steel meets the design requirement. The zinc coating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance for indoor and moderately sheltered outdoor environments.

Key Features

• Partially threaded shank allows the body to carry shear loads while threads secure the joint
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion protection
• UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 1-1/2 inch hex key size for use with standard wrenches and sockets
• Sold as a single fastener with no minimum order above one unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard inch-series UNC nuts, washers, and tapped holes accepting a 1-8 thread. Suitable for general-purpose structural and mechanical fastening applications where Grade 2 hardware is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard wrench or socket sized to the 1-1/2 inch hex. Always inspect the mating tapped hole or nut for clean threads before installation. Follow applicable fastener torque guidelines from the relevant mechanical code or equipment manufacturer specification for Grade 2 hardware. Do not substitute Grade 2 fasteners in applications requiring Grade 5 or Grade 8 tensile strength.
