Value Collection 97193 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/8-9 X 1.5 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97193 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in industrial, commercial, and construction applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener offers a balance of tensile strength and cost-effectiveness suited for moderate-load assemblies. The 7/8-9 thread designation refers to a 7/8-inch nominal diameter with 9 threads per inch (UNC standard), and the 1.5-inch length is measured under the head. Compliance with ASME B18.2.1 ensures dimensional consistency across production runs. Sold in a package quantity of 25 units per order.

This fastener is used across a wide range of trade and industrial settings, including mechanical equipment mounting, structural steel connections, HVAC equipment installation, plumbing fixture anchoring, and general maintenance and repair operations. The fully threaded shank allows for full thread engagement along the entire grip length, making it well suited for through-bolt applications and short-clamp-length joints. Installers in the trades who require a reliable, code-dimensioned inch-series hex cap screw for everyday bolted connections will find this a straightforward stocking item.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction provides minimum proof load and tensile strength suitable for general mechanical assemblies
• Fully threaded shank allows maximum thread engagement for short grip-length applications
• 7/8-9 UNC thread form conforms to Unified National Coarse standard for broad nut and tapped-hole compatibility
• Uncoated finish — no plating or coating to affect dimensional tolerances or galvanic interaction
• Manufactured to ASME B18.2.1 for consistent head dimensions, thread form, and tolerances
• Packaged in quantities of 25 for shop stocking and field use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with any 7/8-9 UNC-tapped hole or compatible hex nut meeting ASME B18.2.2 or equivalent dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, or journeymen in the applicable trade using standard open-end, box, or socket wrenches sized for a 7/8-9 hex head. Confirm mating thread engagement meets the minimum required by the joint design before final torque is applied. Do not install into aluminum or dissimilar metals without evaluating galvanic compatibility, as the uncoated steel finish provides no corrosion barrier. Follow applicable industry torque tables for Grade 5 fasteners when a specific clamp load is required by the assembly specification.
