Value Collection 204336C Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 204336C is a hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener offers superior resistance to chlorides, chemicals, and marine environments compared to standard 304-grade material. The screw features a 5/16-18 UNC thread pattern with a 1-1/2 inch length under head and a 1/2 inch hex drive. It is suited for use in wet, coastal, or chemically exposed environments where long-term fastener integrity is critical.

This hex head cap screw is appropriate for plumbing, HVAC, marine, food service, and industrial assembly applications where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode. The 5/16-18 UNC thread size is a widely used inch-series coarse thread, making this fastener compatible with standard taps, nuts, and inserts of the same specification. Installers, maintenance technicians, and fabricators working in corrosive environments rely on Grade 316 stainless fasteners like this one for dependable, long-service connections.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced chloride and chemical corrosion resistance
• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 1-1/2 inch length under head suits medium-depth clamping and panel fastening tasks
• 1/2 inch hex head drive fits standard open-end, box, and socket wrenches
• Inch measurement system for direct compatibility with imperial fastener tooling and hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use with any 5/16-18 tapped hole, nut, or insert in inch-series fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/2 inch wrench or socket. Always verify thread engagement depth before torquing to avoid thread stripping in soft base materials. Power down or isolate any energized or pressurized systems before inserting fasteners into equipment panels or housings. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for the installation environment.
