Value Collection 97197 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/8-9 Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97197 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, structural, and industrial applications. Sized at 7/8-9 thread with a 2.75-inch length under head, this fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 standards and is manufactured from Grade 5 steel, providing reliable tensile strength for medium-duty bolted joints. The uncoated finish suits applications where a post-installation coating or paint will be applied, or where bare steel is acceptable. Sold in a pack of 25, this screw is a practical choice for shops, contractors, and maintenance professionals who need consistent, spec-compliant fasteners in quantity.

This hex head cap screw is suited for residential and commercial construction, mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and fabrication work. The UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread form is the standard thread system used across North American industry, making this fastener broadly compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts. Grade 5 steel meets SAE J429 mechanical property requirements, making it appropriate for applications requiring moderate preload and clamping force without stepping up to Grade 8.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, millwrights, ironworkers, or general tradespeople using a standard hex wrench or impact driver with the appropriate socket. Always verify that the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or engineering drawings, as generic torque values vary by application and lubrication condition. For structural applications, consult relevant code requirements to confirm fastener grade suitability.
