Value Collection 92710 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-28 2.5in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92710 is a 1/4-28 UNF hex head cap screw measuring 2.5 inches under the head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with no additional coating. The fine-thread UNF specification makes it suitable for applications requiring secure thread engagement in thinner materials or where vibration resistance is important. Partial threading along the shank is standard on this length, leaving a smooth bearing surface below the head. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and field service professionals across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades use fasteners of this type for equipment assembly and panel attachment.

This fastener is suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in both residential and commercial service environments. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for installations exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, which is typical for industrial fastener distribution and supports service van stocking or small-batch repair work.

Key Features

• 1/4-28 UNF fine-thread specification for secure engagement and vibration resistance
• 2.5 inches length under head for reach in deeper assemblies
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface along the grip length
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in damp or mildly corrosive environments
• Uncoated finish — no risk of coating interference with close-tolerance fits
• Minimum order quantity of 50 pieces supports stocking and batch repair applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-28 UNF hex head cap screw suitable for general mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and trade service applications where an 18-8 stainless steel fastener with fine threading is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 1/4-inch hex head cap screw. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation to avoid galling, which is a common risk with stainless steel fasteners. Do not overtighten stainless fasteners, as they are more susceptible to thread damage than carbon steel equivalents. Apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when fastening into aluminum or other dissimilar metals to prevent galvanic corrosion and ease future removal.
