Value Collection R68449444 Hex Socket Cap Screw 5/8-11

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R68449444 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. It features a 5/8-11 UNC thread size and a length under head of 2.5 inches. Drive engagement is through a 0.5 inch internal hex socket, making it compatible with standard Allen or hex key drives. The fastener is machined from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and general contractors commonly install these in structural assemblies, equipment mounts, and piping supports.

This screw is suited for use in both residential and commercial mechanical applications where a clean, flush or recessed fastener head is required. The 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread pattern provides strong pull-out resistance in steel, cast iron, and other threaded base materials. Typical install scenarios include equipment base plates, HVAC curb mounting, pump and motor mounts, and pipe hanger assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread for strong pull-out resistance in metal base materials
• 2.5 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 0.5 inch internal hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and outdoor environments
• Socket cap head profile allows installation in recessed or close-clearance locations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 5/8-11 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any threaded hole or nut accepting the 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 0.5 inch hex key or Allen driver; use a torque wrench rated for the fastener size to achieve proper clamp load per the assembly specification. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. In stainless-to-stainless applications, apply anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque and joint requirements.
