Value Collection R63003440 Hex Socket Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R63003440 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. Featuring a 1/4-20 UNC thread and a 3/16-inch hex drive, this cap screw is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, offering strong resistance to oxidation, moisture, and chemical exposure. The 1/2-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening tasks in both structural and mechanical assemblies. Installation is performed with a standard hex key or Allen wrench of the matching drive size. This type of fastener is commonly specified by mechanical contractors, maintenance technicians, and equipment fabricators working in corrosive or washdown environments.

This screw is well suited for use in marine, food processing, chemical processing, and general industrial applications where stainless steel fasteners are required by design or code. The 316 alloy provides improved chloride resistance compared to 304-grade stainless, making it a practical choice for coastal or high-humidity environments. Technicians and fabricators working on equipment enclosures, brackets, pipe supports, and mechanical sub-assemblies will find this size a common specification in both OEM builds and field repairs.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• 1/4-20 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen wrenches or hex bit drivers
• 1/2-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening in tight or recessed locations
• Socket cap head style allows installation where clearance for a wrench is limited

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any tapped or threaded hole conforming to 1/4-20 UNC inch-series thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when installing stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable fastener standard for this thread size and material.
