Value Collection 92323 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92323 is a hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications requiring corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw features a 5/16-18 UNC thread size and a 1-3/4 inch length under the head. The 1/2 inch hex drive allows engagement with standard hex drivers and wrenches. It is suited for use in fabrication, equipment assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, and mechanical maintenance tasks where stainless steel construction is specified to resist oxidation and chemical exposure.

This fastener is appropriate for both light commercial and residential trade applications. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors use 5/16-18 UNC screws in equipment panels, bracket assemblies, conduit supports, and mechanical connections. The UNC thread form is the standard coarse-thread designation for inch-series fasteners and is compatible with correspondingly tapped holes and standard hex nuts and washers of the same thread size.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for fast engagement and strong holding power in standard tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 1/2 inch hex head allows engagement with common hex wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for direct compatibility with standard UNC hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw compatible with 5/16-18 tapped holes, nuts, and washers conforming to UNC thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/2 inch hex wrench, box wrench, or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is the same 5/16-18 UNC thread standard before installation to avoid cross-threading. Stainless steel fasteners are prone to galling under high torque; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when torque requirements are demanding. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the trade and application in which this fastener is used.
