Value Collection C24586 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C24586 is a 1/4-20 hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The fastener measures 6 inches under the head with a 7/16-inch hex drive and follows Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. This screw is installed by hand or with standard hex tooling and is appropriate for mechanical assemblies, plumbing brackets, HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, and general trade applications where stainless hardware is required.

This cap screw is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction and service work where galvanic corrosion or moisture exposure rules out zinc-plated or plain steel fasteners. Typical applications include mounting HVAC components, securing plumbing strut and pipe supports, assembling pool equipment enclosures, and general structural fastening where a longer 6-inch grip length is needed. Licensed tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool service regularly specify 18-8 stainless fasteners for these environments.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 6-inch length under head suits deeper assemblies and stacked materials
• 7/16-inch hex head fits standard combination wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system with UNC thread standard for domestic trade use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-system fastener with 18-8 stainless steel material and a 6-inch under-head length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/16-inch wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. When installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless threaded holes, apply anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Power down or de-energize any associated equipment before fastening work on electrical or mechanical enclosures.
