Value Collection MP30206 Hex Cap Screw 5/16-24 X 1-1/2 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30206 is a 5/16-24 UNF hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and structural connections. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. The partial threading allows for precise clamping when used with a nut or threaded insert. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, making it a reliable drop-in for spec-driven maintenance and repair work. Sold in a package quantity of 50 per order.

This screw is suited for HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosures, plumbing fixtures, pump assemblies, and general trade maintenance tasks where a fine-thread fastener with controlled torque engagement is required. The 5/16-24 fine thread pitch provides tighter thread engagement than coarse-thread equivalents, making it appropriate for metal-to-metal fastening where vibration resistance matters. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and plumbers routinely stock this size for panel work and equipment mounting.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for strong metal-to-metal engagement
• 1-1/2 inch length under head for moderate-depth fastening applications
• Grade 5 steel construction meets mid-range tensile strength requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection for general service environments
• Partial threading allows for clamping action against unthreaded material
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for any application requiring a 5/16-24 UNF hex head cap screw meeting ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by any licensed trade professional using standard hex wrenches or sockets sized for a 5/16-inch hex head fastener. De-energize electrical equipment and relieve system pressure before accessing any fastened assemblies. Do not substitute a coarse-thread nut or tapped hole for this fine-thread fastener. Apply thread-locking compound or appropriate torque per the equipment manufacturer's service documentation.
