Value Collection R56000850 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56000850 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw is built to hold up in wet, chemical-exposed, or marine environments. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread size and measures 3-1/2 inches in length under the head. The 1/4-inch hex drive accepts a standard Allen wrench or hex bit driver. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors install this type of fastener in equipment panels, pipe hangers, enclosures, and structural assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Common install scenarios include pipe support hardware, electrical enclosure assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, and general mechanical fastening in humid or chemically active environments. The 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread provides strong engagement in tapped holes across a range of base materials. Each unit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert accepting a 5/16-18 UNC thread pattern.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/4-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or threaded insert matches the 5/16-18 UNC thread specification before installation. Power down and de-energize equipment before fastening screws in or near electrical enclosures. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners in stainless tapped holes, as galling can occur — apply appropriate anti-seize compound if required by the application.
