Value Collection 3TSCS94F100 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-28

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSCS94F100 is a hex socket cap screw designed for precision fastening applications where corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength are required. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw features a 1/4-28 UNF thread — a fine-pitch thread commonly used in applications that demand higher tension load capacity and resistance to vibration loosening. The 3/16-inch hex drive socket head accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. With a 1-inch length under the head, this fastener suits a range of light-duty to medium-duty assemblies encountered in HVAC, plumbing, electrical enclosures, and general equipment maintenance.

This screw is well suited for use in environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or salt air, where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Grade 316 stainless steel provides elevated resistance to chloride and chemical exposure compared to Grade 304, making it a common choice for pool equipment, marine hardware, and outdoor mechanical assemblies. Maintenance technicians, equipment installers, and fabricators working in corrosive or wet environments typically specify this grade when fastening panels, brackets, access covers, and componentry on service equipment.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposed environments
• 1/4-28 UNF fine-pitch thread for higher tensile load capacity and vibration resistance compared to coarse-pitch equivalents
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 1-inch length under head suits a range of panel, bracket, and enclosure fastening tasks
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy at the thread and drive socket

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for equipment and assemblies requiring 1/4-28 UNF hex socket cap screws in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen bit driver; do not use an undersized driver as it may strip the socket. De-energize and lock out all equipment before replacing or servicing fasteners on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Apply a compatible anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow all applicable mechanical and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly being serviced.
