Value Collection KP44023 5/16-18 X 1-1/2 in Grade 8 Hex Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP44023 is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw sized 5/16-18 x 1-1/2 inches, designed for high-strength fastening applications across mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. The partially threaded shank follows UNC thread standards and meets ASTM A354 BD specifications, confirming its suitability for demanding load-bearing connections. A zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor installations. Electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general trade professionals reach for Grade 8 fasteners when joint integrity under vibration or mechanical stress is a requirement.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural bracketing where a high-strength UNC fastener is called for. The 5/16-18 thread pitch and 1-1/2 inch length under head make it a common fit for equipment frames, panels, and support structures encountered in trade service work. Sold in a package quantity of 100, the KP44023 is appropriate for stocking service vehicles or shop bins where multiple fasteners are consumed per job.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for a 5/16-18 fastener. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. When used in equipment or structural assemblies subject to vibration, consider a lock washer or thread-locking compound per the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for proper fastener selection and joint design.
