Value Collection 63524 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63524 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications where a standard hex head is not practical. Threaded to 5/16-18 UNC specification, this fastener measures 1/2 inch in length under the head and accepts a 1/4 inch hex drive. The fastener is machined from 316 stainless steel, which provides strong resistance to corrosion and is well suited to wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. It is installed using a standard hex key or Allen driver and is appropriate for mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, and general industrial applications.

This screw is suited to residential and commercial maintenance, repair, and assembly work. The 5/16-18 UNC thread form is a common inch-series coarse thread used across a broad range of equipment. The 1/2 inch under-head length fits shallow through-hole and tapped-hole applications. Trades including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals will encounter this fastener in panel attachments, bracket mounting, and equipment housing assemblies.
