Value Collection R52001254 Hex Cap Screw 5/8-11 X 2-1/2 in Grade 2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R52001254 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized 5/8-11 x 2.5 inches, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The hex head design accepts standard wrenches and sockets for straightforward installation and removal. Zinc plating provides a basic corrosion barrier suitable for general indoor and sheltered outdoor applications. This fastener conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards and meets ASTM A307 and SAE J429 material and mechanical requirements, making it appropriate for general-purpose structural and mechanical assemblies where high-strength fasteners are not required.

This screw is used in a wide range of trade applications including HVAC equipment mounting, light structural framing, mechanical equipment bases, plumbing fixture supports, and general fabrication. The 5/8-11 UNC thread pitch and 2.5-inch length under head suits mid-gauge steel and iron assemblies where a through-bolt or tapped-hole configuration is specified. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general contractors encounter this fastener class regularly during equipment installation and service work.

Key Features

• Fully threaded along the 2.5-inch shank for maximum thread engagement in tapped holes
• 5/8-11 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard nuts and tapped holes
• Grade 2 steel construction meets ASTM A307 and SAE J429 mechanical requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in moderate environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fit and interchangeability
• Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 5 units

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any standard 5/8-11 tapped hole or matching nut conforming to ASME B18.2.2 or equivalent specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench, box-end wrench, or socket rated for the fastener size. Verify that the mating thread, whether a nut or tapped hole, is also 5/8-11 UNC before installation. Do not use zinc-plated fasteners in continuously wet, submerged, or chemically aggressive environments without evaluating corrosion suitability. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when specified.
