Value Collection 207837 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207837 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, plumbing, and structural assemblies. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. The 5/16-18 UNC thread profile is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in inch-series fastener systems, making it a standard choice for equipment assembly, pipe supports, and panel mounting. Measured at 2 inches under the head with full threading along the entire shank, this screw provides strong thread engagement throughout its length.

This fastener fits residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant inch-series screw is required. Typical uses include HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure assembly, plumbing fixture attachment, and general mechanical maintenance. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for moist or chemically mild environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this screw suits professional trades stocking fastener inventory or completing larger-volume installations.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC thread fastener. Fits standard 5/16-18 threaded holes, nuts, and inserts per UNC specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general maintenance technicians, HVAC mechanics, plumbers, and electricians using standard hex socket or open-end wrenches. Always ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can seize the threads permanently — applying an anti-seize compound to the threads before installation is a common best practice. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening components to electrical enclosures or live assemblies.
