Value Collection 92722 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92722 is a 5/16-24 hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It features a unified fine thread (UNF) pattern and a 1.5-inch length under the head, making it suitable for fastening applications where corrosion resistance and dimensional precision are required. The 1/2-inch hex drive accommodates standard wrenches and sockets. This fastener is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces, making it appropriate for contractors, maintenance technicians, and trades professionals sourcing hardware in volume.

This cap screw is used across a wide range of mechanical and structural fastening applications in HVAC, plumbing, electrical enclosure assembly, and general equipment maintenance. The fine thread pitch of 5/16-24 provides increased thread engagement strength compared to coarse thread equivalents, and the 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and oxidation in both indoor and outdoor environments. It is a practical choice for equipment panels, brackets, and assemblies where standard inch-series hardware is specified.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 5/16-24 UNF thread for higher thread engagement and holding strength vs. coarse pitch
• 1.5-inch length under the head for moderate-depth fastening applications
• 1/2-inch hex drive compatible with standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system with UNF thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNF hex head cap screw for use in any application calling for a 5/16-24 x 1.5-inch fastener in stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 1/2-inch open-end, box-end, or socket wrench. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastening work on electrical or HVAC enclosures. Avoid over-torquing stainless steel fasteners, as the material is susceptible to galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless or aluminum mating surfaces. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly specification before final torque.
