Value Collection 97229 Hex Head Cap Screw Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97229 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. This fastener measures 1-8 thread size with an 8-inch length under head and is manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a bright uncoated finish. The UNC thread standard and ASME B18.2.1 compliance make it a reliable choice for professionals who require consistent dimensional accuracy and load-bearing performance in standard inch-measurement applications.

This hex head cap screw is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical installations, structural steel connections, equipment mounting, and general trade fabrication work. The partial threading configuration allows for clamping force across unthreaded sections, which is common in applications where a smooth shank is needed through one or more members before engaging a nut or tapped hole. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general mechanical contractors regularly use fasteners of this type when assembling equipment frames, supports, and mechanical housings.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction for reliable tensile and yield strength in standard fastening applications
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface through clamped materials
• UNC thread form with 1-8 thread size for broad compatibility with standard inch hardware
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for indoor and dry-environment installations
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment and interchangeability
• Sold in a package quantity of 10 to support multi-fastener jobs without excess ordering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw conforming to ASME B18.2.1, suitable for use with any 1-8 UNC tapped hole or matching hex nut in general mechanical and structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or impact driver fitted with the appropriate socket size. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening components to powered machinery or electrical enclosures, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use this uncoated fastener in wet, outdoor, or corrosive environments without additional protective measures such as plating or coating. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or structural engineer of record for the joint design.
