Value Collection R52001081 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20 X 5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001081 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized 1/4-20 x 5 inches, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The 1/4-20 designation refers to a 1/4-inch nominal diameter with 20 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. At 5 inches in length under head and fully threaded along the entire shank, this fastener provides consistent thread engagement across the full grip length. It is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, fabricators, millwrights, and contractors working in light to medium structural and mechanical assembly applications.

This hex head cap screw is suited for general-purpose fastening in residential and commercial construction, equipment assembly, and light structural connections. The zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. At 0.0579 pounds per piece, the fastener is sized for applications where a standard UNC 1/4-20 thread pattern is called out. It meets ASME B18.2.1, ASTM A307, and SAE J429 standards, making it appropriate for specified bolted connections that reference those documents.

Key Features

• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement over the entire 5-inch length under head
• 1/4-20 UNC thread form for broad tool and nut compatibility
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 and SAE J429 requirements
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in sheltered environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex head cap screws

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use with any 1/4-20 threaded nut, insert, or tapped hole conforming to Unified National Coarse thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 1/4-inch hex head cap screw. Verify that the mating nut or tapped hole uses a 1/4-20 UNC thread form before installation. Grade 2 fasteners are not rated for high-tension structural connections that require Grade 5 or Grade 8 hardware — confirm the application grade requirement before use. Follow applicable fastener torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or governing code for the assembly.
