Value Collection 202845 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 3/4 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 202845 is a 1/4-20 x 3/4 inch hex head cap screw machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. Grade 316 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to 304 alloy, making it the standard choice for wet, marine, chemical-exposure, and outdoor service environments. The 7/16 inch hex drive size accepts standard wrenches and sockets. This fastener is sold individually and is suitable for use wherever a corrosion-resistant, full-thread cap screw in the 1/4-20 thread family is required by specification or code.

This screw is used in a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, pool and spa equipment assembly, electrical enclosure hardware, and general mechanical assembly in corrosive or high-moisture environments. Its 3/4 inch length under head makes it appropriate for light-duty clamping applications through thin stock or into tapped holes in aluminum, plastic, or stainless substrates. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals specify 316 stainless hardware for coastal installations and chemical process environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would fail prematurely.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion and chloride resistance
• 1/4-20 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 3/4 inch length under head suits light clamping and through-fastening applications
• 7/16 inch hex drive accepts standard combination wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system — fits standard Imperial tooling and hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or service fastener for any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw with a 3/4 inch length under head in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/16 inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. De-energize or shut down any equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow the applicable mechanical, plumbing, or electrical code for torque requirements specific to the joint being assembled.
