Value Collection KP44025 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP44025 is a 5/16-18 x 2 inch hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers superior tensile strength compared to lower-grade hardware. The partially threaded shank follows UNC thread standards and meets ASTM A354 BD specifications, making it suitable for structural and load-bearing assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working in mechanical, HVAC equipment mounting, and industrial installations rely on Grade 8 fasteners where joint integrity is critical.

This hex head cap screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including equipment mounting, bracket fabrication, mechanical assemblies, and structural connections. The 5/16-18 UNC thread pattern is a common fastener size found in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosure mounting, and general mechanical work. The partially threaded design allows for a smooth shank grip zone, which is preferred in applications where shear load distribution across the fastener body is required.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction meets ASTM A354 BD standard for high-strength fastening
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor and sheltered environments
• Partially threaded shank supports shear load distribution in bolted joints
• UNC 5/16-18 thread pattern is widely compatible with standard nuts and tapped holes
• 2 inch length under head accommodates thicker material stacks and structural connections
• Sold in a package quantity of 100, with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard UNC 5/16-18 nuts and tapped holes in inch-system applications. Suitable as a direct replacement or stocking fastener wherever Grade 8, 5/16-18 x 2 inch hex cap screws are specified per ASTM A354 BD.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with proper fastener torque procedures for Grade 8 hardware. Always use a properly sized hex wrench or socket to avoid fastener head damage. Ensure mating threads and tapped holes are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener selection and joint design.
