Value Collection 208764 Hex Head Cap Screw 1-8x6 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 208764 is a 1-8 x 6 inch hex head cap screw machined from 18-8 stainless steel with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. The length measurement is taken under the head, making it 6 inches from bearing surface to tip. The 1-1/2 inch hex drive accepts a standard combination wrench or socket. This fastener is used wherever corrosion resistance is a primary concern — marine environments, food-service equipment, chemical processing assemblies, and outdoor structural connections. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general contractors routinely spec 18-8 stainless hardware for wet or corrosive service conditions.

This screw suits a wide range of light-to-heavy industrial and mechanical assemblies that require a full 6 inch grip length and a corrosion-resistant fastener. Typical applications include equipment frames, pipe supports, junction boxes, pressure vessel flanges, and HVAC equipment panels where moisture or chemical exposure rules out zinc-plated carbon steel hardware. The UNC thread form is the most common inch-series thread standard, ensuring broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts available in trade supply channels.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance in wet and mildly chemical environments
• 1-8 UNC thread form matches the most widely used inch-series coarse-thread standard
• 6 inch length under head accommodates thick stack-ups and long grip requirements
• 1-1/2 inch hex drive fits standard wrenches and sockets without special tooling
• Sold individually — no minimum pack quantity required beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a direct replacement or general-purpose fastener for any application requiring a 1-8 UNC hex head cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel with a 6 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by licensed tradespeople and qualified mechanics using standard combination wrenches or hex sockets sized to the 1-1/2 inch hex. Apply an anti-seize compound when fastening stainless-to-stainless connections to prevent galling during installation and future removal. Torque to the fastener manufacturer's published values for the nominal diameter and material grade. Always verify the mating tapped hole or nut is also rated for the intended service environment before final assembly.
