Value Collection R56000782 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000782 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. The screw features a 1/4-20 UNC thread with a 1-3/4 inch length under head, driven by a 5/16 inch hex key. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, a material grade well-suited for wet, chemical, or marine environments where standard carbon steel hardware would corrode prematurely. Tradespeople and maintenance technicians specify this fastener when assembling equipment panels, brackets, and mechanical sub-assemblies where both strength and corrosion resistance are required.

This screw is appropriate for use in commercial HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assemblies, pool and spa mechanical enclosures, and general industrial maintenance tasks. The 1/4-20 UNC thread is a common coarse-thread standard, making this screw compatible with a wide range of tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and plastic components. Its socket drive design allows installation in close-clearance situations where a traditional hex head wrench cannot fit.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and saltwater environments
• 1/4-20 UNC coarse thread fits a wide range of standard tapped holes
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive allows torquing in tight clearance spaces
• 1-3/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Low-profile socket cap head sits flush in counterbored or recessed hole patterns

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped or threaded application requiring a 5/16 inch hex key drive and 316 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Install with a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen-style driver bit. Verify the receiving hole is cleanly tapped to 1/4-20 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. For pool, marine, or chemical-wash environments, inspect threads and mating surfaces for buildup before fastening. Always de-energize or depressurize any system before accessing components requiring fastener removal or replacement.
