Value Collection 88548136 Hex Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 2 in Grade 5 Qty 50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548136 is a 1/4-20 x 2-inch hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Made from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments. The partial threading runs from the tip toward the head, allowing the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads — a common requirement in bolted joints where clamp load and lateral strength both matter. Sold in a pack of 50, this fastener follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and uses inch-system dimensions throughout. Each screw weighs approximately 0.03 pounds.

This screw is well suited for maintenance, repair, and assembly work across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing support, and general trade applications. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common inch-series thread sizes in North American equipment, making this fastener a go-to stock item for service vans and shop bins alike. The hex drive accommodates standard wrenches and sockets. The zinc finish is appropriate for dry or mildly humid service conditions but is not rated for immersion or heavy outdoor exposure without additional protection.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction provides higher tensile strength than Grade 2 fasteners
• Zinc-plated finish delivers corrosion resistance in typical indoor service environments
• Partial threading allows unthreaded shank to carry shear loads in bolted assemblies
• 1/4-20 UNC thread — one of the most widely used inch-series thread sizes in trade equipment
• Hex head style accepts standard wrenches and sockets for fast installation and removal
• Packaged in a quantity of 50 for stock replenishment and bulk service use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC partially threaded hex head cap screw with a 2-inch length under head, Grade 5 minimum strength, and zinc-plated finish in inch-system fastener specifications.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 1/4-inch hex head fastener. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or relevant assembly standard for Grade 5 fasteners at this thread size — do not rely on feel alone for critical joints. De-energize, depressurize, or otherwise isolate any equipment before replacing fasteners in live systems. Use a thread gauge or go/no-go gauge if mating thread condition is in question before final assembly.
