Value Collection 92331 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 4.5 in Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92331 is a hex head cap screw in a 5/16-18 thread size with a 4-1/2 inch length under head. It is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with no coating applied, making it suitable for applications where corrosion resistance is required. The fastener uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard and is driven with a standard hex wrench or socket. This screw is used across plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical installations where a reliable, corrosion-resistant fastener is needed.

This hex head cap screw is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where stainless steel fasteners are specified. It is commonly installed in equipment enclosures, pipe supports, structural brackets, and mechanical assemblies exposed to moisture or corrosive environments. Tradespeople including plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians use this fastener type when stainless steel is required by the installation or project specification.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 4-1/2 inch length under head suits deeper clearance and stacking applications
• Uncoated finish maintains bare stainless appearance and avoids coating contamination concerns
• Hex head drive accepts standard sockets and wrenches already in trade toolkits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using the appropriate hex socket or open-end wrench sized to the 1/2 inch hex drive. De-energize and depressurize any equipment or system before fastening or removing hardware in service areas. Follow applicable codes and torque guidelines specified by the equipment manufacturer or relevant trade standard for the assembly type. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in highly conductive or saltwater environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk.
