Value Collection HCI202503000FT-100BX Hex Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI202503000FT-100BX is a 1/4-20 x 3 inch fully threaded hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The zinc coating provides basic corrosion resistance for general-purpose indoor and light-duty outdoor fastening applications. The unified national coarse (UNC) thread form and full-thread construction along the 3-inch length under head allow maximum thread engagement across the full grip range. This fastener is a standard off-the-shelf item used by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, millwrights, and general contractors for structural and mechanical assembly work.

This screw is suited for light to moderate load applications in residential and commercial construction, mechanical equipment mounting, HVAC bracket and panel assembly, electrical enclosure work, and general fabrication. Grade 2 steel is appropriate for non-critical structural joints where high tensile strength is not required. The fully threaded body makes this screw particularly useful when threading into deeper tapped holes or when using a full-length nut engagement is needed for the assembly.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts
• Fully threaded 3-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• Grade 2 steel construction suitable for general-purpose fastening
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance
• Standard hex head drive accepts common 7/16-inch sockets and wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any 1/4-20 tapped hole, nut, or threaded insert following unified national coarse thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 7/16-inch socket, wrench, or hex driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Do not over-torque Grade 2 fasteners, as this grade has lower proof load limits than Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque and joint requirements relevant to the specific application.
