Value Collection 88546767 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546767 is a hex socket cap screw designed for mechanical fastening applications requiring precision and strength. This fastener features a 5/16-18 UNC thread size with a 1-3/4 inch length under head and is partially threaded along its shank. The 1/4 inch hex drive socket head accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver for installation and removal. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it provides solid corrosion resistance for general industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals rely on this style of cap screw for equipment assembly, fixture mounting, and structural fastening tasks.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, industrial equipment assembly, and machine repair scenarios. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads while the threaded portion engages the mating material. It is commonly installed in machined components, brackets, enclosures, and mechanical assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener head is required. Each package contains 13 pieces, making it practical for bench stock or job-site use.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head with partial threading for shear load resistance along the shank
• 1/4 inch hex drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding mechanical applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Package quantity of 13 pieces suitable for bench stock or small-batch repairs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series socket cap screw for use in any application with a 5/16-18 UNC tapped hole requiring a hex socket drive fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or general mechanics using a 1/4 inch hex key or hex bit driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening into live mechanical assemblies. Apply thread locking compound or appropriate torque practices per the equipment manufacturer's service documentation. Inspect mating threads for damage or debris before installation to ensure full thread engagement.
