Value Collection 92045 5/16-18 Unc Socket Cap Screw Stainless

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92045 is a hex socket cap screw sized 5/16-18 UNC with a 2-inch length under head and a 1/4-inch internal hex drive. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor fastening applications. This fastener is driven with a standard hex key or Allen wrench and is used by maintenance technicians, plumbers, electricians, HVAC installers, and general tradespeople wherever a clean, recessed-head fastener is required. The 5/16-18 coarse thread provides reliable clamping force in metal, plastic, and composite assemblies. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

This socket cap screw is appropriate for light structural, mechanical, and equipment-mounting applications across residential and commercial trade work. Common install scenarios include securing equipment panels, brackets, pump housings, electrical enclosures, and HVAC component mounts. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it well suited for environments with moisture exposure where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/4-inch hex key or a hex bit and driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is a known risk with stainless steel fasteners. Apply an anti-galling compound when threading stainless into stainless threads. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer for the 5/16-18 thread class in use.
