Value Collection 92042 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92042 is a hex socket cap screw designed for general fastening applications where corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force are required. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread profile and measures 1.25 inches in length under the head. Drive engagement is achieved with a 1/4-inch hex key. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener resists rust and oxidation in wet or chemically exposed environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople use socket cap screws where a flush or recessed fastener head is needed and wrench access is limited.

This screw suits light-to-medium mechanical assembly work across residential and commercial trade applications. It is appropriate for mounting brackets, securing access panels, attaching equipment flanges, and similar tasks where a standard hex socket drive provides positive torque engagement in confined spaces. The 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread is widely compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts in this size class.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1.25-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and Allen drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or exposed environments
• Low-profile socket cap head allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stocking fastener for any application requiring a 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 1.25-inch length under head in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 1/4-inch hex key or Allen driver in good condition to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the rated torque capacity of the 18-8 material, and avoid using impact drivers unless a socket-cap hex bit is properly seated. Always confirm thread engagement depth is adequate for the load before final tightening.
