Value Collection HCI202502250-100BX Hex Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI202502250-100BX is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and light industrial assemblies. It carries a 1/4-20 UNC thread size and measures 2-1/4 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and protected outdoor environments. The partial threading allows for precise clamping force when drawing two components together, making it a dependable choice for standard bolted joints. Installed using a 7/16-inch hex key or wrench, this screw is a practical, code-compatible fastener for trade and production use.

This hex head cap screw is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and general structural connections where a 1/4-20 UNC thread form is specified. The zinc plating offers a basic protective barrier against oxidation, making it appropriate for dry or semi-protected installations. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance trades when securing equipment panels, brackets, and supports. Sold in minimum order quantities of 100, it is well suited for stocking in service vehicles or supply rooms handling routine fastener needs.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 2-1/4 inches length under head for reaching through thicker stacked materials
• Partial threading promotes accurate clamping and prevents cross-threading in blind applications
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose structural fastener requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments
• 7/16-inch hex drive for installation with standard wrenches or sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC partially threaded hex head cap screw in Grade 2 steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/16-inch open-end wrench, box wrench, or socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not over-torque, as Grade 2 steel has lower proof load ratings than Grade 5 or Grade 8 fasteners. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific assembly.
