Value Collection R68449229 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/8-11

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R68449229 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in demanding mechanical and structural applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The 5/8-11 UNC thread provides coarse-pitch engagement for reliable clamping force in steel, aluminum, and fabricated assemblies. A 1/2 inch hex socket drive allows tightening with a standard Allen wrench or hex bit driver, making it a common choice where a recessed drive head is required to keep fasteners flush or below the surface plane.

This cap screw fits general industrial, mechanical, and trade installation scenarios where a 5/8-11 UNC coarse-thread fastener is specified. The 1-3/4 inch length under head suits moderate-depth through-hole and tapped-hole applications. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians regularly use this fastener type when assembling equipment frames, mounting brackets, pump flanges, or structural members that require a clean, low-profile fastener head.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposure environments
• 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1/2 inch hex socket drive accepts common Allen wrenches and hex bit drivers
• 1-3/4 inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• Recessed socket head keeps the fastener profile low and clearance-friendly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8-11 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application specifying this thread size, drive type, and length. Compatible with standard 5/8-11 UNC tapped holes and matching hex nuts per ANSI/ASME B18.3 socket cap screw standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist, millwright, or maintenance technician using a 1/2 inch hex key or Allen-drive socket. Always verify that the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 5/8-11 UNC thread specification before installation. Ensure threads and seating surfaces are clean and free of debris before torquing. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments prone to galvanic corrosion without appropriate isolation.
