Value Collection 208834 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 208834 is a 1/4-20 hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It features a 1.5-inch length under the head and a standard Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. The 7/16-inch hex drive accepts a standard hex wrench or socket. This fastener is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment fabrication, and structural connections where corrosion resistance is required. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and millwrights working on panels, brackets, and mechanical frames exposed to moisture or corrosive environments.

This screw is appropriate for indoor and outdoor applications where mild corrosion resistance is needed. Typical uses include mounting equipment panels, securing pipe hangers, fastening electrical enclosures, and general sheet metal or light structural assembly. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides resistance to oxidation and many mild chemical environments, making it a practical choice for mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment, and poolside installations.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for wet or outdoor environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad fastener compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1.5-inch length under head suits medium-depth through-hole and tapped applications
• 7/16-inch hex head accepts standard wrenches and sockets for reliable torque application
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard US hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw for use wherever an 18-8 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/16-inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven under excessive force; apply anti-seize compound if galling is a concern. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the assembly being serviced.
