Value Collection MP30574 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30574 is a 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw with a 1-1/4-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. Grade 316 stainless offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304-grade fasteners, making it well suited for wet, chemically aggressive, or marine environments. The hex drive measures 7/16 inches across flats, accepting a standard combination or hex wrench. This is a general-purpose threaded fastener used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors wherever a corrosion-resistant machine screw is required.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and commercial applications where exposure to moisture, chlorides, or mild chemical agents is a concern. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting in mechanical rooms, outdoor enclosures, pool and spa equipment panels, and piping support hardware. The inch-system thread and UNC standard make it compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts in 1/4-20 configurations across a wide range of trade equipment and structural components.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion and chloride resistance
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-system tapped components
• 1-1/4-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 7/16-inch hex drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system, UNC thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for any application requiring a 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by any licensed trade professional or qualified technician using a 7/16-inch open-end wrench, combination wrench, or socket driver. De-energize all electrical circuits and shut off fluid systems before working in areas where fastener installation could disturb live components. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel if fastening into dissimilar metals to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the specific application.
