Value Collection 92046 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92046 is a hex socket cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and structural applications. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread size with a 2.25-inch length under the head, driven by a 1/4-inch hex key. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. Tradespeople and technicians use this type of screw where a flush or recessed fastener head is required and reliable clamping force is critical.

This cap screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial installations where 5/16-18 UNC threading is specified. Common applications include equipment mounting, panel assembly, bracket attachment, and machine component fastening. The stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for HVAC equipment frames, pump housings, electrical enclosures, and similar service environments where standard zinc-plated hardware may corrode prematurely.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 2.25-inch length under head provides adequate grip for thicker assemblies
• 1/4-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen-head sockets
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion
• Socket cap head allows installation in recessed or space-constrained locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use wherever that thread specification is required in trade and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 1/4-inch hex key or socket driver. De-energize and lock out any electrical or mechanical equipment before fastener work begins. Ensure the receiving hole is clean and correctly tapped to 5/16-18 UNC before threading to avoid galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound if repeated removal is expected.
