Value Collection R48622814 Low Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R48622814 is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where head clearance is limited. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread and measures 1/2 inch in length under the head. Machined from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers good corrosion resistance in wet or mildly corrosive environments. The hex socket drive requires a 5/32-inch hex key for installation and removal. This screw is commonly specified by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors when securing panels, brackets, or components in confined spaces where a standard-height cap screw head will not clear adjacent parts.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, equipment panels, and structural brackets where a low-profile head is required. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces per order, with a package quantity of 1 per bag. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for indoor and outdoor installations where moderate moisture or chemical exposure is present.
