Value Collection 207826B 5/16-18 X 1 in Hex Cap Screw 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207826B is a hex head cap screw in 5/16-18 thread size with a 1-inch length under head. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. The Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form provides reliable clamping force and broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts. It is installed using a 1/2-inch hex wrench or socket. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors reach for 18-8 stainless hardware when working in wet, corrosive, or outdoor environments where carbon steel fasteners would degrade.

This screw is suited for light to medium fastening tasks across residential and commercial job sites. Common applications include equipment panel assembly, conduit support brackets, pipe hanger hardware, HVAC cabinet fabrication, and general mechanical assembly where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is one of the most widely used coarse thread sizes in North American trade work, making this screw easy to source matching hardware for in the field.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet or outdoor environments
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for compatibility with standard North American tapped holes and hardware
• 1-inch length under head for consistent grip depth in standard fastening applications
• 1/2-inch hex drive for use with common wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for direct compatibility with standard trade hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5/16-18 UNC tapped holes, nuts, and threaded inserts in inch-measurement fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install with a 1/2-inch hex wrench, ratchet, or socket driver. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. When fastening into dissimilar metals, consider anti-seize compound to prevent galvanic corrosion. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as they are susceptible to galling if driven at excessive speed or torque without lubrication.
