Value Collection 97033 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 2 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97033 is a 5/16-18 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 standards, making it a reliable choice for general mechanical fastening applications. The UNC thread form is the most common inch-series standard, ensuring broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts. This screw is sold in packs of 100, suited for professional tradespeople who need consistent hardware on hand for equipment assembly, structural brackets, panel mounting, and general service work.

This fastener is appropriate for a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure assembly, plumbing support hardware, and general mechanical maintenance. The partial thread design provides a smooth shank section that helps align mating components and is preferred in applications where the fastener passes through a clearance hole before engaging a threaded bore. It suits any trade requiring a mid-strength inch-series fastener in moderate-load environments.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench, socket, or combination wrench sized for a 5/16-inch hex head fastener. Ensure the mating thread or nut is clean and free of debris before installation. Torque to the fastener specification appropriate for the joint material and application — do not overtighten in soft or thin base materials. Follow applicable codes such as the NEC or IFGC where fastener installation is part of a code-regulated assembly.
