Value Collection 207826 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207826 is a hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The fastener measures 5/16-18 thread size with a 1-inch length under head and a 1/2-inch hex drive, conforming to Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. It is well suited for use by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors wherever a corrosion-resistant hex fastener is required.

This screw is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty fastening in both residential and commercial settings. Typical applications include equipment panel assembly, pipe support hardware, electrical enclosures, HVAC unit access panels, and general structural connections where stainless steel is specified to resist rust or galvanic corrosion. The UNC thread form ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts across common trade hardware.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1-inch length under head for consistent engagement depth
• 1/2-inch hex drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for direct use with standard U.S. trade hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use with any 5/16-18 tapped hole or hex nut conforming to inch-system thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/2-inch wrench or socket driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening components on electrical or HVAC assemblies. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in applications where galvanic corrosion is a concern without appropriate isolation measures. Follow applicable NEC, IPC, or IFGC provisions when fastening system components that fall under those codes.
