Value Collection 92724 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-24 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92724 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw engineered to UNF thread standards for use in precision fastening applications. Sized at 5/16-24 with a 2-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated, making it well suited for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. The 5/16-24 designation indicates a 5/16-inch nominal diameter with 24 threads per inch on a Unified National Fine thread form. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, pool equipment, and light mechanical assembly commonly reach for this grade when working near moisture or in corrosive service conditions.

This screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a fine-thread fastener is specified and stainless steel is required for longevity. Typical applications include equipment panel attachment, pump and motor mounting, electrical enclosure hardware, and general structural fastening where UNF thread engagement is called out by the equipment manufacturer. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface along part of the grip length, which can be advantageous when clamping two components together without thread engagement in the upper material.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF thread form for fine-thread engagement and reduced loosening under vibration
• 2-inch length under head for adequate grip in standard fastening configurations
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Partially threaded shank allows clean clamping without thread interference in the upper workpiece
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy on thread form

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF hex head cap screw suitable for use in any application specifying a 5/16-24 partially threaded fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified mechanical or trade personnel following applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant codes. Always use the correct hex socket or wrench size to avoid fastener damage. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in applications where galvanic corrosion could accelerate fastener failure.
