Value Collection 822692MSC Smooth Flange Bolt 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 822692MSC is a smooth flange bolt designed for secure fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread, fully threaded along its 3/4-inch length under head, and a hex drive for standard wrench or socket installation. The 11/16-inch smooth flange distributes clamping load across the bearing surface, reducing the need for a separate washer. Manufactured from Grade 8 alloy steel with a phosphate and oil finish, this bolt offers high tensile strength and improved corrosion resistance for demanding service environments.

This bolt is suited for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and OEM assembly contexts. The SAE J429 Grade 8 rating makes it appropriate for use where elevated proof load and tensile strength are required. The smooth flange style is commonly used in equipment panels, brackets, and mounting flanges where a clean bearing surface is needed without a separate flat washer. Installers in HVAC, mechanical contracting, and light industrial maintenance will recognize this as a standard hardware item for equipment assembly and field repair.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread with full threading along entire 3/4-inch length under head
• 11/16-inch smooth flange provides integrated load distribution without a separate washer
• Grade 8 alloy steel construction meets SAE J429 tensile and proof load requirements
• Phosphate and oil finish provides baseline corrosion and wear resistance
• Hex drive compatible with standard wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series smooth flange bolt for use in any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC fully threaded fastener with an 11/16-inch flange diameter and Grade 8 alloy steel strength rating.

Installation Notes

This fastener is typically installed by mechanical contractors, equipment technicians, and assemblers using standard hex wrenches or sockets. Power down and de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Torque to values appropriate for Grade 8, 5/16-18 fasteners per applicable engineering or OEM specifications. Do not substitute a lower-grade fastener in applications specifying Grade 8.
