Value Collection 208842B Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 2-1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 208842B is a hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. The fastener measures 1/4-20 thread size with a 2-1/4 inch length under the head and features partial threading along the shank. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes and nuts. This screw is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, electricians, and mechanical contractors across a wide range of trade applications.

This hex head cap screw suits residential and commercial installations where stainless steel fasteners are specified. Typical applications include equipment mounting, panel assembly, pipe support attachment, and general mechanical assembly. The partial threading design provides a smooth shank section that helps maintain clamping force and resist loosening under vibration. The bright uncoated finish keeps the fastener true to its 18-8 stainless alloy properties without adding coating thickness that could affect fit in close-tolerance holes.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for compatibility with standard inch-system hardware
• Partially threaded shank for improved clamping and vibration resistance
• Bright uncoated finish maintains true dimensional tolerances
• 2-1/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any application specifying 1/4-20 stainless steel fasteners in that thread length.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for a 1/4-inch hex head cap screw. De-energize or depressurize any system before fastening or removing hardware in live electrical, pneumatic, or fluid-carrying assemblies. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly conductive or electrochemically active environments to prevent galvanic corrosion. Apply anti-seize compound if installing in applications where the screw may be removed under service conditions, as 18-8 stainless can be prone to galling.
