Value Collection R56000244 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/8-11

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000244 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized 5/8-11 x 5-1/2 inches, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 5/8-11 designation indicates a 5/8-inch nominal diameter with 11 threads per inch under the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. Full threading along the 5-1/2-inch length under the head provides maximum engagement across the entire fastener shank. Grade 316 stainless steel delivers strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making this screw suitable for demanding environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would fail prematurely. Plumbers, pipefitters, marine contractors, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This hex head cap screw is commonly used in plumbing, HVAC, marine, chemical processing, and food-service equipment applications where exposure to moisture, salt, or corrosive media requires a high-alloy fastener. The UNC thread form is the standard inch-series coarse thread used in the majority of North American mechanical assemblies. Full threading makes this fastener well suited for through-bolting thin materials or applications requiring a nut across the full grip length. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one piece.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical environments
• Fully threaded shank along the entire 5-1/2-inch length under the head
• 5/8-11 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to flake, chip, or contaminate process surfaces
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets for high-torque installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with any standard 5/8-11 UNC hex nut, coupling nut, or tapped hole following the Unified National Coarse inch thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople familiar with proper fastener torque practices for stainless steel hardware. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads before assembly to prevent thread seizure. Use a properly sized hex wrench or socket to avoid rounding the head. Always follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when selecting fastener grade and size for structural or pressure-containing assemblies.
