Value Collection 202920B Hex Head Cap Screw 3/4-10 Grade 316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 202920B is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized 3/4-10 x 2-1/2 inches, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. The 3/4-10 designation indicates a 3/4-inch nominal diameter with 10 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. Grade 316 stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this fastener suitable for demanding environments where exposure to moisture, chemicals, or salt is a concern. Length is measured under the head at 2-1/2 inches. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in corrosive or wet environments will find this fastener appropriate for structural and mechanical connections.

This hex head cap screw is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, marine, food-service, and industrial applications where corrosion resistance is a primary requirement. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire bolt length, which is advantageous in applications requiring maximum thread engagement or when securing thinner materials. Grade 316 stainless is commonly specified in coastal installations, chemical processing environments, and poolside equipment assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement along the full 2-1/2-inch length
• 3/4-10 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard hex nuts and tapped holes
• Uncoated finish retains base material properties without additional coating buildup
• Hex head drive allows installation and removal with standard hex wrenches or impact tools

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/4-10 UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use with corresponding 3/4-10 hex nuts, lock nuts, and tapped holes in equipment, structural, and mechanical assemblies requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with fastener torque requirements for the specific joint and material. Always de-energize, depressurize, or shut off any system before servicing or replacing fasteners in live assemblies. Use a properly sized hex wrench or socket to avoid rounding the fastener head. When installing stainless steel fasteners, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling on the threads during installation and future removal.
