Value Collection 207436 Hex Head Cap Screw 18-8 Ss Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207436 is a hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in trade and industrial environments. It features a 1-8 UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread with a 2-1/2 inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. The 18-8 grade provides solid corrosion resistance, making this fastener suitable for applications exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor conditions. The hex drive head accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets. This screw is sold individually and is appropriate for plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical assembly work.

This fastener is used wherever a corrosion-resistant, full-strength hex cap screw is required in inch-based assemblies. Typical applications include equipment mounting, pipe flange connections, structural brackets, and mechanical enclosures. The coarse UNC thread pattern allows faster installation and performs well in softer base materials. It is suitable for both light commercial and residential trade work where stainless steel fasteners are specified.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 1-8 UNC coarse thread for faster engagement and reliable hold in a wide range of materials
• 2-1/2 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Hex head design accepts standard sockets, wrenches, and ratchet drives
• Inch measurement system compatible with standard SAE hardware assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for inch-based assemblies requiring a 1-8 UNC hex head cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using appropriate hand or power tools sized for the hex head. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur; apply an anti-seize compound when assembling stainless-to-stainless connections. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque and fastener spacing requirements.
