Value Collection 3SSC905F0014 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SSC905F0014 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical assembly and fastening applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw offers solid corrosion resistance for use in environments where moisture or mild chemicals are present. It measures 5/16-24 UNF thread size with a 7/8-inch length under head. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire fastener length, making it well suited for thin-material clamping and close-tolerance assemblies. This fastener weighs approximately 0.1 pounds per unit and ships in single-piece package quantities with a minimum order of 100 pieces.

This hex head cap screw is used across a range of trade and light industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical maintenance. The 5/16-24 UNF thread pitch is a fine-thread specification, providing greater thread engagement strength and better resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents. It is a practical choice for stainless-compatible assemblies where standard carbon steel fasteners would introduce corrosion risk.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Fully threaded shank allows maximum thread engagement over the entire 7/8-inch length under head
• 5/16-24 UNF fine-thread specification provides higher tensile strength and vibration resistance versus coarse thread
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating thickness variation
• Inch measurement system with length measured under head per standard fastener convention

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNF hex head cap screw suitable for any application requiring a 5/16-24 fine-thread fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed using a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 5/16-inch hex head cap screw. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation; applying an anti-seize compound is recommended to prevent thread damage. Do not exceed recommended torque values for the fastener grade and material as provided by the applicable mechanical code or equipment manufacturer. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly.
