Value Collection 99196 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/8-9 X 2 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 99196 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for heavy-duty mechanical and structural fastening applications. Sized at 7/8-9 UNC thread with a 2-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 8 steel and left uncoated for standard bare-metal use. Grade 8 is the highest common SAE bolt grade, delivering high tensile and proof load strength suitable for demanding assembly work. These screws conform to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and material performance. Sold in a pack of 25, they suit maintenance shops, fabrication facilities, and contractors working on heavy equipment or structural connections.

This screw is well suited for industrial, agricultural, and heavy-equipment applications where Grade 8 strength is specified. The UNC thread form is the standard for most inch-series fastener applications in North American trade work. Full threading along the 2-inch shank allows engagement with nuts or tapped holes across the full grip length. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians commonly specify Grade 8 fasteners in hydraulic component mounting, frame assembly, and drivetrain work.

Key Features

• Uncoated finish suitable for use with standard nuts, lock washers, and thread-locking compounds
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 for dimensional accuracy and hex head geometry
• Sold in a 25-count package for shop stock or project quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance stock fastener for applications specifying 7/8-9 UNC Grade 8 hex cap screws per ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or millwright familiar with inch-series fastener torque requirements for Grade 8 hardware. Always consult the equipment manufacturer torque specification chart for the correct value at this thread size and grade. Ensure mating threads in nuts or tapped holes are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not reuse fasteners that show signs of thread damage, stretching, or corrosion.
