Value Collection R68449023 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/8-11

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R68449023 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in industrial, commercial, and trade applications. It features a 5/8-11 UNC thread size with a 3-1/2 inch length under head, providing substantial grip depth for high-load assemblies. The 1/2 inch hex drive socket allows for high-torque installation using a standard hex key or Allen driver. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw resists corrosion and oxidation, making it suitable for environments where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general tradespeople routinely install this type of fastener.

This hex socket cap screw is appropriate for use in structural assemblies, equipment mounting, pipe supports, and machinery maintenance across residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread is widely used in general-purpose fastening where vibration resistance and ease of assembly are priorities. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a common choice for outdoor, wet, or corrosive service environments. It is sold individually and is suitable for both original installation and replacement fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance tradespeople using a 1/2 inch hex key or Allen driver. Always ensure the mating tapped hole is clean, properly sized, and free of debris before driving the fastener. Power down or de-energize any equipment being serviced before installing or removing fasteners in live assemblies. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound appropriate for stainless steel fasteners to prevent galling during installation.
