Value Collection 10060CH2 Hex Head Cap Screw 1-8x3-3/4 Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10060CH2 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, it provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. The fastener measures 3-3/4 inches under the head with a 1-8 UNC thread size, conforming to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors reach for Grade 2 hex cap screws when securing brackets, supports, equipment frames, and utility hardware throughout residential and light commercial work.

This screw is suited for use in general mechanical and structural applications where standard inch-series fasteners are specified. The 1-8 UNC coarse thread pattern makes it compatible with standard nuts, tapped holes, and threaded inserts commonly found in equipment bases, strut channel systems, and fabricated steel supports. Partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads in bolted connections, making it appropriate for through-bolt applications in steel and wood substrates.

Key Features

• 1-8 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• Partially threaded shank provides shear-load capacity in bolted through-connections
• Grade 2 steel construction meets SAE J429 minimum tensile requirements for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty service environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit with standard tooling
• Sold individually, allowing single-piece procurement for repair and maintenance work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with 1-8 UNC nuts, washers, and tapped steel or structural components in general mechanical and trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for the appropriate hex head drive. Always ensure the mating nut or tapped hole carries a matching 1-8 UNC thread specification before assembly. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening or removing hardware on live systems. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or structural engineer of record when this fastener is used in load-bearing connections.
