Value Collection 92311 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 2-3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92311 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications requiring corrosion resistance. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it features a 1/4-20 UNC thread and measures 2-3/4 inches under the head. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads while the threaded section engages the mating material, making this screw suitable for mechanical assemblies, mounting brackets, and equipment panels in trade environments. Installation requires a standard hex driver or wrench and basic hand tools.

This fastener is commonly used in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment installations where stainless steel is specified for moisture-prone or corrosive environments. The 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is one of the most widely used inch-series coarse thread standards, making this screw compatible with a broad range of standard hardware and equipment enclosures. It is typically installed by licensed trade professionals during equipment assembly, panel fabrication, or field service repairs.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance in wet or humid environments
• Partially threaded shank accommodates shear loads and allows clamping of unthreaded materials
• 1/4-20 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or react with stainless hardware
• 2-3/4 inch length under head suits deeper fastening applications requiring additional grip length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with any 1/4-20 UNC tapped hole or nut in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/16-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Ensure the mating thread or nut is also stainless steel or a compatible alloy to prevent galvanic corrosion. Do not overtighten stainless fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound where repeated disassembly is expected. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when specified.
