Value Collection 88548102 1/4-20 X 1 in Hex Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548102 is a 1/4-20 hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening in trade and industrial applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener features partial threading and a 1-inch length under the head. The UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread form mates with standard 1/4-20 tapped holes and nuts. Each package contains 50 pieces, making it a practical quantity for service work, equipment assembly, and MRO replenishment. Installers across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades rely on Grade 5 fasteners for moderate-strength bolted connections.

This screw is suited for light-to-medium duty bolted joint applications in both residential and commercial settings. Common uses include securing equipment panels, mounting brackets, electrical enclosures, and mechanical assemblies where a standard 1/4-20 UNC thread is specified. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads in close-tolerance joint designs. The zinc plating provides a base level of corrosion protection appropriate for interior and sheltered exterior installations.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction for moderate tensile and proof load strength
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for interior and sheltered applications
• 1/4-20 UNC thread mates with standard tapped holes and hardware
• Partial threading supports shear-bearing applications with unthreaded shank section

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw with a 1-inch length under head in Grade 5 steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 1/4-inch hex head fastener. Always verify that the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 1/4-20 UNC thread standard before installation. Do not exceed the torque rating appropriate for Grade 5 fasteners of this diameter as specified by the equipment manufacturer. Inspect zinc plating for damage before use in moisture-prone environments.
