Value Collection 208994 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/8-11 X 2.5in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 208994 is a 5/8-11 hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemical-exposure environments. The screw measures 2-1/2 inches in length under head with a 5/8-11 UNC thread form and a 15/16-inch hex drive. It is sized for applications where a standard inch-series fastener with reliable corrosion resistance is required. Trades including HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical installation commonly use fasteners of this type when connecting equipment, supports, or structural assemblies.

This hex head cap screw is suited for residential and commercial trade applications involving equipment mounting, pipe hangers, structural brackets, and mechanical assemblies. The UNC thread standard makes it compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is appropriate for applications where mild-to-moderate corrosion resistance is needed, including indoor mechanical rooms, rooftop equipment installations, and light outdoor service environments.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 5/8-11 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 2-1/2 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 15/16-inch hex drive compatible with standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system throughout for straightforward integration with imperial-spec assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with any 5/8-11 UNC tapped hole or compatible nut in mechanical, structural, or equipment fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 15/16-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. De-energize and lock out equipment before fastening components near electrical systems. Inspect mating threads for damage before installation to avoid galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Anti-seize compound is recommended on stainless threads to reduce the risk of thread seizure during installation and future removal.
