Value Collection R56000228 Hex Cap Screw 5/8-11 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000228 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in corrosion-prone environments. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener delivers strong resistance to chlorides, salt spray, and chemical exposure, making it a reliable choice for marine, industrial, and outdoor mechanical assemblies. The screw features a 5/8-11 UNC thread and measures 2-1/4 inches under the head. At 0.25 pounds, it is a solid, full-bodied fastener suited for structural and equipment fastening tasks performed by machinists, millwrights, plumbers, and mechanical contractors.

This fastener is appropriate for use in residential and commercial applications where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. Typical installations include pipe hangers, pump mounting, equipment enclosures, marine fixtures, pool and water treatment equipment, and chemical processing assemblies. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement throughout the grip length, which is particularly useful in shorter fastening scenarios where a partially threaded bolt would not provide adequate holding strength.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in chloride and marine environments
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement for improved clamping force in shorter fastening applications
• 5/8-11 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and threaded holes
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and avoids coating interference in precision fits
• 2-1/4 inches length under head suits a range of medium-depth fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 5/8-11 UNC inch-series hex nuts, flat washers, and threaded holes conforming to UNC specifications in Grade 316 stainless or compatible materials.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or licensed tradesperson using a properly sized hex wrench or socket. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads before torquing. Never mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in submerged or high-moisture environments without accounting for galvanic corrosion potential. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer specifications for torque requirements.
