Value Collection R56000784 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000784 is a 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, this fastener resists rust, chemical exposure, and moisture — making it well-suited for marine, food-service, and industrial environments. The screw measures 2.25 inches in length under the head and is driven by a 5/16 inch hex key. Installation requires a standard hex wrench or Allen driver. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general maintenance technicians routinely use this fastener type in precision assemblies, brackets, and equipment panels.

This hex socket cap screw fits standard 1/4-20 UNC threaded holes and is commonly used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, machine frames, enclosures, and structural brackets. The recessed hex drive allows installation in tight clearances where a conventional hex head wrench cannot reach. The 316 stainless steel grade offers superior resistance to chlorides and acidic environments compared to 304-grade material, making it a preferred choice for outdoor, coastal, and process-industry installations.

Key Features

• 1/4-20 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 2.25 inches length under head provides sufficient grip length for typical bracket and panel assemblies
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• 316 stainless steel construction for enhanced corrosion and chloride resistance
• Low-profile socket head allows installation in recessed or clearance-restricted locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-series fastener with a recessed hex drive and 316 stainless steel material grade.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized 5/16 inch hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket drive. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing or tightening fasteners on live assemblies. Apply anti-galling compound when threading 316 stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes, as the material is prone to galling under torque. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
