Value Collection R56001002 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/8-11

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R56001002 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength. It features a 5/8-11 UNC thread size with a 3-1/2 inch length under head and a 1/2 inch hex drive. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists rust and chemical exposure in harsh environments. It is installed using a standard 1/2 inch hex key or Allen driver. Maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors typically reach for this screw when securing equipment in wet, marine, or chemically active settings.

This socket cap screw is suited for residential and commercial mechanical applications where stainless fasteners are required. Common uses include pipe flange connections, pump mounting, equipment brackets, and structural assemblies exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread provides broad compatibility with standard tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and fabricated plate. Grade 316 stainless is a preferred material in food-service equipment, marine hardware, and process-industry installations where Grade 304 does not offer sufficient corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 3-1/2 inch length under head for deep grip in thick-material applications
• 1/2 inch internal hex drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex-bit sockets
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for elevated corrosion and chemical resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or interfere with torque values
• Weighs 0.2 pounds — suitable for single-piece handling and low-profile assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 5/8-11 UNC coarse-thread fastener with a 1/2 inch hex drive and 3-1/2 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/2 inch hex key or a hex-bit socket with an appropriate torque wrench. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening or removing screws on live mechanical systems. Apply an anti-seize compound to stainless threads where galling is a concern, as 316 stainless is prone to galling under high torque without lubrication. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for fastener torque and joint design.
