Value Collection B10744 Hex Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 2-1/2 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B10744 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw engineered for high-strength fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc yellow dichromate finish, this fastener delivers superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance compared to lower-grade alternatives. The 1/4-20 UNC thread profile and 2-1/2-inch length under head make it well suited for secure mechanical assemblies where fastener integrity is critical. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards, ensuring dimensional and mechanical consistency. Sold in a package of 25 units.

This hex head cap screw is used across a broad range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure mounting, plumbing fixture brackets, and general mechanical fabrication. The Grade 8 steel construction and zinc yellow dichromate coating make it appropriate for both indoor and light-duty outdoor environments where moderate corrosion resistance is required. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working with structural or equipment fastening will find this a reliable standard-stock fastener for frequent use.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with fastener torque requirements for Grade 8 hardware. Always use a properly sized hex socket or wrench to avoid rounding the head. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not mix Grade 8 fasteners with lower-grade nuts or inserts, as the assembly strength will be limited by the weakest component.
