Value Collection 97160 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/8-11 X 5-1/2 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97160 is a 5/8-11 hex head cap screw designed for heavy-duty fastening in industrial, mechanical, and structural applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener measures 5-1/2 inches under the head with a partially threaded shank and conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. The coarse UNC thread pitch provides strong thread engagement in steel, cast iron, and heavy fabrication work. This screw is a standard choice for licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in demanding load-bearing assemblies.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial construction, mechanical equipment assembly, HVAC structural mounting, and general industrial maintenance. The 5/8-11 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes found in equipment frames, flanges, pump housings, and structural steel connections. The partially threaded shank allows for clamping force across unthreaded material layers, which is critical in bolted joint design. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this screw is appropriate for contractors and maintenance teams stocking fastener inventories for ongoing work.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread for high thread engagement in steel and iron
• 5-1/2 inches under head, partially threaded shank for proper clamping in thick-material joints
• Grade 5 steel construction meets minimum 120,000 psi tensile strength requirements for medium-strength fastening
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with added lubricants or coatings as required by application
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit and interchangeability
• Package quantity of 25 supports bulk installation and inventory stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.2.1 inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any 5/8-11 UNC tapped hole or standard hex nut of the same thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified maintenance technicians using a standard hex wrench, impact driver, or socket set sized for a 5/8-inch hex head fastener. Always verify thread engagement depth and joint material compatibility before final torque. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as required by the application or applicable code. Do not reuse fasteners that show thread damage, corrosion, or deformation.
