Value Collection R64406696 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R64406696 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly applications. It features a 5/16-18 UNC thread size and measures 1.25 inches under the head. The drive is a 1/4 inch internal hex socket, requiring an Allen key or hex bit driver. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it provides solid corrosion resistance in moderate environments. This fastener is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on equipment frames, brackets, and component assemblies.

This screw is suited for light to medium-duty fastening tasks in residential and commercial mechanical systems. The 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread engages quickly and holds reliably in metal, plastic, and drilled or tapped assemblies. The low-profile socket cap head allows installation in recessed or countersunk applications where wrench clearance is limited. Typical uses include equipment panel mounting, pump and motor bracket fastening, and general machine assembly work.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for fast engagement and reliable hold
• 1.25 inch length under head suits medium-depth tapped holes
• 1/4 inch internal hex socket drive for Allen key or hex bit installation
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and thread tolerance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/16-18 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped or threaded hole conforming to UNC coarse thread specifications at this diameter and pitch.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 1/4 inch hex key or hex socket bit driver. Always verify the mating thread is clean and properly tapped to 5/16-18 UNC before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening or removing hardware on live mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable machine and equipment safety codes when torquing fasteners in structural or pressure-bearing applications.
