Value Collection A997205 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997205 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Sized at 5/16-18 UNC thread with a 2-inch length under head, this fastener is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, providing solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. The hex drive head accepts standard wrenches and sockets for secure installation. Each package contains 25 screws, making it practical for batch work or repeated assemblies where consistent fastener grade and dimensions matter.

This screw is suited for trade and light industrial use where stainless steel is specified over zinc-plated or plain carbon steel fasteners. Common applications include HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assembly, electrical enclosure hardware, and pool or marine-adjacent installations where moisture exposure is a factor. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 2-inch length, which is useful in thinner material stacks or where clamping depth varies.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Fully threaded shank along the entire 2-inch length under head
• 5/16-18 UNC thread standard for broad tool and hardware compatibility
• Hex head drive accepts standard open-end, box, or socket wrenches
• Sold in a 25-piece pack for efficient batch fastening jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series hex head cap screw suitable for use in any application calling for a 5/16-18 x 2-inch fully threaded stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 1/2-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Power down or de-energize any equipment before securing fasteners near live electrical components.
