Value Collection 88548193 5/16-18x1 Hex Cap Screw Gr5 Zinc 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548193 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, structural, and fabrication applications. Built to Grade 5 steel standards, it delivers the tensile and proof-load strength required for medium-duty bolted joints. The 5/16-18 UNC thread form and 1-inch length under head make it a commonly specified fastener in equipment assembly, bracket mounting, and panel attachment. A zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. This SKU ships in a package quantity of 50, making it practical for service vehicles, shop stock, or small-volume production runs. Installation requires standard hex tooling and no special certification.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and commercial maintenance, light manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, and general mechanical service work. The UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread standard ensures compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts of the same thread designation. Fully threaded construction maximizes thread engagement across the full grip length, which is beneficial in thin-material and close-tolerance applications. No input data specifies compatible equipment models or systems beyond the thread and dimensional parameters listed.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard coarse-thread hardware
• 1-inch length under head for consistent grip in thin-to-medium material stacks
• Grade 5 steel construction meets medium-duty tensile and proof-load requirements
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full fastener length
• Zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion protection for indoor and light outdoor service
• Sold in a 50-piece package for efficient shop stock and service replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC fully threaded 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, socket, or open-end wrench sized for a 5/16-inch hex head cap screw. Follow applicable torque guidelines from the equipment manufacturer or relevant standards for Grade 5 fasteners at this thread size. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not exceed the rated grade strength by using impact tools at settings inappropriate for small-diameter fasteners.
