Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97215 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and construction settings. The fastener is machined to an inch-system thread size of 1-8 with a 2-1/2 inch length under the head, conforming to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards. Constructed from Grade 5 steel with a UNC thread form and no finish coating, this screw delivers reliable clamping force in structural and equipment assembly applications. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this SKU is a practical choice for shop stock or job-site restocking.

This fastener is suited for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, structural framing connections, and similar trade applications requiring a standard inch-series hex cap screw. The UNC thread form is widely used across HVAC equipment frames, electrical panel supports, plumbing fixture brackets, and general fabrication work. The uncoated steel finish is appropriate for interior dry environments or applications where a field-applied coating will be used. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals commonly keep this size in stock for routine service and installation work.
