Value Collection 97196 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/8-9 X 2.5 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97196 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw engineered to Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards and rated to ASME B18.2.1 specifications. It features a 7/8-9 thread size and measures 2.5 inches under the head. Constructed from Grade 5 steel with no finish coating applied, this fastener delivers reliable mechanical strength for structural and general-purpose bolted connections. It is typically installed by industrial maintenance technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and general contractors working on equipment assemblies, structural frames, and mechanical connections where Grade 5 tensile requirements apply.

This fastener is suited for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and trade applications requiring a coarse-thread, heavy hex fastener. Common use cases include equipment mounting, structural steel connections, pump and motor base assemblies, and general mechanical fabrication where an uncoated finish is acceptable or a field-applied coating will be used. It is sold in package quantities of 25 units with a minimum order quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 7/8-9 UNC thread size provides coarse-thread engagement suitable for general structural and mechanical applications
• 2.5-inch length under head accommodates standard flange and plate thicknesses common in equipment assemblies
• Grade 5 steel construction meets medium-strength tensile requirements per ASME B18.2.1
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full length of the fastener
• Uncoated finish allows field coating or suits applications where corrosion protection is provided by the assembly design
• Sold in 25-piece packages with no minimum carton requirement

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw per ASME B18.2.1, compatible with any 7/8-9 threaded nut or tapped hole conforming to Unified National Coarse thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Hex head cap screws of this size are typically installed using a 1-5/16-inch hex wrench or impact socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener replacement on live machinery per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use uncoated fasteners in exposed outdoor or corrosive environments without an appropriate field-applied finish or corrosion-resistant mating hardware.
