Value Collection 2-H-100C-500 Hex Head Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-H-100C-500 is a heavy-duty hex head cap screw designed for structural and mechanical fastening applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener measures 1-8 thread size by 5 inches in length under the head and features partial threading. Grade 316 stainless provides superior resistance to chlorides, salt water, and chemical exposure compared to 304-series alloys, making it well suited for marine, coastal, chemical processing, and outdoor industrial environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals install this type of fastener in assemblies requiring long-term corrosion resistance without protective coatings.

This hex head cap screw is appropriate for use in residential, commercial, and industrial mechanical assemblies where stainless fasteners are specified. Typical applications include equipment mounting, structural connections, pump and valve housings, and marine hardware installations. The partial threading design allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads while the threaded portion engages the mating nut or tapped hole. It is commonly specified on projects where salt air, moisture, or chemical wash-down conditions would degrade carbon steel or plated fasteners.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced chloride and corrosion resistance
• 1-8 thread size by 5 inches length under head for deep-reach fastening applications
• Partial threading allows shank to carry shear loads in structural connections
• Bright, uncoated finish — no platings or coatings that can flake or contaminate
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets for reliable torque application
• Inch-series thread form for compatibility with standard US fastener tooling and hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style or replacement hex head cap screw for inch-series mechanical assemblies specifying 1-8 thread size and 5-inch length in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical, pipefitting, or maintenance trade professionals using standard hex drive sockets or wrenches. Verify thread engagement depth and mating material specifications before installation. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound when joining dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion and galling common to stainless fasteners. Torque to the assembly manufacturer's specification — never exceed the rated proof load for the fastener grade and size.
