Value Collection 97008 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 2 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97008 is a 1/4-20 x 2 inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish. It features partial threading and conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. The 1/4-20 thread designation indicates a 1/4 inch nominal diameter with 20 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. Length measurement is taken under the head. This fastener is used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installations wherever a reliable, code-recognized hex drive fastener is required. Installers receive 100 pieces per package.

This screw is suited for light-to-medium structural and mechanical fastening applications in residential and commercial trade work. Typical uses include equipment mounting, bracket attachment, panel securing, and general mechanical assembly where a 1/4-20 UNC thread is specified. The partially threaded shank provides a grip zone that is useful when clamping two or more materials together without the thread running the full length of the joint. Grade 5 steel provides adequate tensile strength for most standard trade fastening tasks.

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application calling for a 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw meeting ASME B18.2.1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench, socket, or nut driver sized for a 1/4-20 fastener. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not overtighten — apply torque appropriate to the joint material and Grade 5 rating as defined by the applicable design specification or equipment manual. For outdoor or corrosive environments, a coated or stainless fastener should be considered in place of this uncoated steel screw.
