Value Collection HCI50250200G-100BX Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI50250200G-100BX is a 1/4-20 x 2 inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish. The partial thread configuration runs from the tip toward the head, leaving a smooth shank section beneath the head for improved clamping and shear strength in structural and mechanical connections. The hot-dipped galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for outdoor, wet, or harsh-environment applications. This fastener is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade contractors wherever a reliable UNC-threaded hex fastener is required.

This screw is appropriate for residential and commercial construction, mechanical equipment mounting, conduit and bracket installation, HVAC equipment frames, and general structural assembly. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is one of the most common inch-series thread sizes across the trades, making this fastener a versatile stock item for service vans, job sites, and shop inventory. The box quantity of 100 pieces is suited for bulk trade use.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction for reliable tensile and yield strength in general-purpose structural applications
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in outdoor and wet environments
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth grip section for improved clamping and shear load performance
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard — one of the most common inch-series thread specifications across HVAC, electrical, and plumbing trades
• 2-inch length under head accommodates moderate material stack-ups and typical bracket or panel installations
• Box of 100 pieces supports bulk trade use and reduces per-unit cost on high-volume jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use in any application calling for a Grade 5, hot-dipped galvanized, partially threaded fastener in this thread and length specification.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard hex wrench, socket, or nut driver sized to the 1/4-20 hex head. Ensure mating threads in the receiving nut or tapped hole conform to UNC standards to avoid cross-threading. Verify torque requirements using the applicable project specification or fastener torque table for Grade 5 hardware. When installing on electrical equipment or near energized components, de-energize and lock out the circuit per NFPA 70E requirements before beginning work.
