Value Collection R56000248 Hex Cap Screw 5/8-11 X 7 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000248 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw engineered for industrial and trade fastening applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener offers superior resistance to chlorides, salt water, and aggressive chemicals compared to standard 304 stainless. The screw features a 5/8-11 UNC thread size and measures 7 inches under the head, making it well suited to heavy-duty assemblies requiring a long grip length. It arrives uncoated, preserving the natural corrosion-resistant properties of the 316 alloy. Trade professionals choose 316 stainless fasteners for marine, chemical, food-service, and outdoor structural installations.

This hex head cap screw is used across a broad range of commercial and industrial applications where moisture, saltwater exposure, or chemical contact would compromise carbon steel or standard stainless fasteners. Typical installation scenarios include marine hardware, poolside equipment mounting, coastal HVAC equipment supports, plumbing fixture assemblies, and food-processing facility construction. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement through the full 7-inch length, offering flexibility in clamping depth without requiring a nut to bear on an unthreaded shank.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction resists chlorides, salt spray, and chemical exposure
• Fully threaded shank along the entire 7-inch length under head for maximum engagement flexibility
• 5/8-11 UNC thread standard ensures broad nut and tapped-hole compatibility
• Uncoated finish retains native 316 alloy corrosion resistance without coating adhesion concerns
• Weighs 0.4 pounds — manageable for overhead or confined-space fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener compatible with any 5/8-11 UNC tapped hole or standard hex nut application requiring Grade 316 stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 5/8-inch fastener; consult the applicable structural or mechanical specification for torque requirements. Always de-energize electrical systems and isolate pressurized lines before disassembling any assembly for fastener replacement. Apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel when fastening into stainless or aluminum to prevent galling, which is common with 316 alloy hardware. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC for fastener specifications in plumbing and gas equipment installations.
