Value Collection 88548722 Hex Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 1 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548722 is a 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical assembly and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance suited for indoor and light outdoor use. The partial threading design provides a smooth shank section under the head, which helps maintain clamping load and prevents thread engagement in the grip area. Each package contains 13 screws. At 1 inch in length under the head and 0.0174 pounds per unit, this screw suits a wide range of trade and industrial assembly tasks.

This fastener is used across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical service work where a standard inch-series hex cap screw is required. Typical applications include equipment panel mounting, bracket fastening, and component assembly on residential and light commercial systems. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common fastener sizes in North American trade work, making this screw a practical stock item for service vans and shop inventory.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction provides medium-strength tensile performance for general fastening
• Zinc-plated finish offers basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments
• Partially threaded shank maintains grip integrity and reduces stress at the shank-thread transition
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Packaged in quantities of 13 per pack, suitable for single-job or small-batch use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any 1/4-20 tapped hole or standard hex nut in typical mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require a licensed trade; however, fastener selection should match the load and environment requirements of the specific application. Use an appropriate hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 1/4-20 hex head. Do not overtighten, as Grade 5 hardware has defined proof load limits. Inspect threads on mating components before installation to avoid cross-threading or galling.
