Value Collection MP30587 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30587 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in corrosion-resistant assemblies. Sized at 5/16-18 UNC thread with a 2-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with no additional finish coating. Grade 316 stainless provides superior resistance to chlorides, acids, and marine environments compared to standard 304-grade material. The hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets, making installation straightforward in a wide range of service conditions. Suitable for use by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals requiring a corrosion-resistant fastener in structural or equipment-mounting applications.

This cap screw is well suited for use in marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, food service assemblies, outdoor structural connections, and industrial maintenance applications where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to pass cleanly through clearance holes before engaging the mating thread, providing improved shear strength and controlled clamping in bolted joint assemblies. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for strong resistance to corrosion, chlorides, and marine environments
• 5/16-18 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head measured from bearing face to tip
• Partially threaded shank provides improved shear strength and accurate bolt positioning in clearance holes
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional tolerances and avoids coating contamination concerns in sensitive applications
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and impact sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw for use with 5/16-18 nuts, inserts, or tapped holes in any application requiring Grade 316 stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench, box-end wrench, or socket driver sized for a 5/16-18 hex head cap screw. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Always power down or de-energize equipment before fastening components in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards for the joint material and fastener grade.
