Value Collection 1424CHAL Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1424CHAL is a hex head cap screw machined from Grade 2024T4 aluminum. It features a 1/4-20 UNC thread and a 1-1/2 inch length under head, making it a standard fastener for lightweight structural and mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance and reduced weight are priorities. The 7/16 inch hex drive accepts a standard combination wrench or socket. Grade 2024T4 aluminum offers good strength-to-weight performance for a non-ferrous fastener, suited to applications where steel would add unnecessary mass or risk galvanic compatibility issues.

This screw is used in a range of industrial, mechanical, and equipment-assembly applications where inch-series UNC threading is required and aluminum material is specified. Typical install scenarios include light-duty equipment frames, enclosure panels, electrical housings, and general mechanical assemblies. This fastener is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it suitable for shop stock, service van inventory, or production-run procurement.

Key Features

• Grade 2024T4 aluminum construction for lightweight, non-ferrous fastening
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for broad inch-series compatibility
• 1-1/2 inch length under head for standard through-bolt and tapped-hole applications
• 7/16 inch hex drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC thread, 1-1/2 inch length under head, and Grade 2024T4 aluminum material.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanic, assembler, or service technician using a 7/16 inch wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. When threading aluminum fasteners into dissimilar metals, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to reduce galling and galvanic corrosion risk. Do not overtighten, as aluminum fasteners have lower shear strength than steel equivalents of the same size.
