Value Collection 211186 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-28 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 211186 is a hex head cap screw designed for precision fastening in applications requiring corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw features a 1/4-28 unified fine thread (UNF) and a 1-1/4 inch length under head. The 7/16 inch hex drive allows standard wrench or socket installation. It suits mechanical assemblies, plumbing fixtures, HVAC equipment frames, and electrical enclosures where a secure, rust-resistant fastener is required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on corrosion-prone or washdown-exposed equipment will find this screw a practical fit.

This fastener is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications where fine-thread engagement is needed in metal or close-tolerance tapped holes. Typical installations include equipment panels, valve bodies, pump housings, and structural brackets in environments subject to moisture or mild chemical exposure. The 18-8 stainless construction meets common corrosion-resistance requirements found in plumbing, HVAC, and pool equipment service work. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemically active environments
• 1/4-28 UNF thread for fine-pitch engagement in precision-tapped holes
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 7/16 inch hex drive compatible with standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for direct compatibility with standard hardware specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw suitable for any tapped or clearance hole application requiring a 1/4-28 UNF thread pattern and 18-8 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any qualified tradesperson using a 7/16 inch wrench or socket driver. Ensure the mating threads are clean and free of debris before fastening. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling of threads can occur; applying an anti-seize compound to threads is standard practice. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant code requirements for the assembly being serviced.
