Value Collection HCI51000200G Hex Cap Screw 1-8x2 Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HCI51000200G is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized at 1-8 UNC thread by 2 inches under head. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a hot-dipped galvanized finish, this fastener delivers reliable corrosion resistance in demanding outdoor and structural applications. The UNC thread form and full threading along the shank allow maximum grip across the entire fastened joint. At 0.7 pounds per unit, it is a robust fastener suited for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors securing structural connections, equipment mounting brackets, and utility framework.

This cap screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction and mechanical installations where Grade 5 tensile strength and galvanized corrosion protection are required. Typical applications include equipment base rails, outdoor electrical enclosure mounting, mechanical room strut and bracket assembly, and any structural connection exposed to moisture or weathering where a zinc-coated steel fastener is specified.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction provides proven mid-range tensile strength for structural fastening
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish delivers heavy zinc coating for outdoor and corrosion-prone environments
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement along the entire fastener length
• 1-8 UNC thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard hex nuts and tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head suits a wide range of material stack-up thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 1-8 hex head cap screw compatible with any 1-8 UNC threaded nut, coupler, or tapped hole conforming to inch-series thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is appropriate for general trades including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors working on equipment mounting and structural connections. Always de-energize and lock out electrical equipment before fastening or adjusting nearby mounting hardware. Use a calibrated torque wrench when torque specifications are called out in equipment documentation. Inspect the galvanized coating for damage before installation and replace any fastener with compromised coating in corrosive environments.
