Value Collection 10052CH2 Hex Head Cap Screw 1-8 X 3-1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10052CH2 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in structural and mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener measures 1-8 thread size with a 3-1/4 inch length under the head. The UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for Grade 2 fasteners when code-compliant strength at a practical cost is the priority.

This cap screw is suited for light to moderate load-bearing connections in residential and commercial construction, equipment mounting, and bracket fabrication. The partial threading allows for a smooth shank section that can bear shear loads, making it appropriate where the bolt passes through a clearance hole before engaging a threaded receiver. It is commonly used in framing, equipment pads, junction box mounting, and similar trade applications where an inch-series UNC fastener is specified.

Key Features

• Grade 2 steel construction meets SAE J429 and ASME B18.2.1 standards
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• Partially threaded shank accommodates shear-load installations
• UNC thread form compatible with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 1-8 thread size x 3-1/4 inch length under head for deep-reach fastening

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard UNC inch-series nuts and tapped holes conforming to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using the appropriate hex wrench or socket drive sized for the fastener head. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening near electrical components. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the relevant equipment manufacturer or applicable code for Grade 2 fasteners. Do not use impact tools at full torque on Grade 2 fasteners without confirming the application is appropriate for the fastener grade.
