Value Collection 207824 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207824 is a 5/16-18 hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening in corrosion-sensitive environments. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid resistance to rust and oxidation without the cost of higher alloy grades. The screw measures 3/4 inches under the head with a 1/2-inch hex drive, making it compatible with standard hex wrenches and sockets. It follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard, ensuring broad compatibility with tapped holes and standard hex nuts. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals use this fastener in a wide range of structural and equipment assembly applications.

This cap screw is well suited for light-to-medium duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial mechanical systems, equipment enclosures, brackets, and utility hardware assemblies. The UNC thread pattern engages quickly and seats reliably in both machined and cast substrates. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for use in humid or wet service environments where mild corrosion resistance is required, including HVAC equipment enclosures, plumbing fixture brackets, and pool equipment housings.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid service conditions
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 3/4-inch length under head suits shallow-stack fastening applications
• 1/2-inch hex drive works with standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system throughout for straightforward imperial hardware replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an inch-series fastener of this thread size, length, and material grade.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/2-inch hex wrench or socket. De-energize and de-pressurize any equipment before fastening or removing hardware in mechanical systems. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling under excessive torque without proper lubrication. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and installation requirements.
