Value Collection 88546726 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546726 is a 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. It features a 1/2-inch length under head and is fully threaded along that length, providing maximum thread engagement for secure clamping. The screw is driven with a 1/4-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener offers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty industrial use. It is sold in a package of 13 pieces, making it practical for batch work or small assemblies.

This cap screw is appropriate for light structural, mechanical, and fabrication assemblies where a socket-drive fastener is needed in a confined or recessed space. The 5/16-18 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread specification found in general machine work, equipment maintenance, and component mounting. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals regularly use this type of fastener when a flush or recessed head profile is required and a hex key is the preferred drive method.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded 1/2-inch length under head maximizes thread engagement
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance for indoor applications
• Sold in a 13-piece package for small-batch or maintenance use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a coarse-thread socket head fastener of this size and drive type.

Installation Notes

Install using a 1/4-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not over-torque alloy steel cap screws in softer base materials such as aluminum. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment service codes when fastening structural or load-bearing assemblies.
