Value Collection R48022430 Hex Cap Screw 1/4-20 2-3/4in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48022430 is a 1/4-20 hex head cap screw measuring 2.75 inches in length under the head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. This fastener features partial threading and a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard, making it a dependable choice for general mechanical assembly and fabrication applications. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and mildly caustic environments. Weighing approximately 0.004 pounds per piece, this screw is sized for use with a standard 1/4-20 nut or tapped hole. Installers and maintenance technicians across trades rely on this type of fastener for equipment panels, brackets, and structural connections.

This hex head cap screw is suited for a wide range of light industrial, mechanical, and trade service applications. Common uses include securing HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture brackets, electrical enclosures, and pool equipment housings where corrosion resistance is a priority. The partially threaded shank allows for clamping force against a bearing surface, which is useful in bolted joint assemblies where the unthreaded shank spans through a clearance hole. This fastener is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for compatibility with standard 1/4-20 nuts and tapped holes
• 2.75-inch length under head with partial threading for clamping-style bolted joints
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating that can chip or flake under torque
• Inch measurement system; thread standard is Unified National Coarse (UNC)

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard 1/4-20 UNC tapped hole or with a 1/4-20 hex nut. Suitable as a general-purpose inch-series hex cap screw for mechanical and trade assembly applications requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 1/4-inch hex head cap screw. Ensure the mating thread or nut is also rated for stainless steel compatibility to avoid galvanic corrosion concerns when used with dissimilar metals. De-energize or shut off any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners on live assemblies. Hand-start threads before applying torque to prevent cross-threading in tapped holes.
