Value Collection R80064244 Hex Cap Screw 1-8x2.5in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R80064244 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in corrosive or marine environments. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, this fastener delivers superior resistance to chlorides, salt water, and chemical exposure compared to standard 304 stainless. The screw measures 1-8 thread size with a 2-1/2 inch length under head and follows the UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread standard. It ships uncoated, preserving the natural corrosion resistance of the 316 alloy. Trades commonly use this size in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, and pool or waterside installations where fastener longevity is critical.

This hex head cap screw is suited for both residential and commercial applications where stainless fasteners are specified by code or by design. Typical use cases include mounting brackets, pipe hangers, equipment frames, and structural connections in wet or chemically aggressive environments. The fully threaded configuration allows maximum thread engagement across the full shank length, making it well-suited for through-bolting and short-grip fastening scenarios. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, pool service, and marine trades will find this a standard specification fastener for corrosion-critical work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use with any 1-8 threaded nut, insert, or tapped hole conforming to Unified National Coarse specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using appropriate hand tools or power drivers rated for the fastener size. Always verify that mating threads and nuts are the same material class or a compatible stainless grade to avoid galvanic corrosion. Do not mix stainless fasteners with carbon steel hardware in wet or submerged installations. Apply anti-seize compound when fastening into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling during installation or future removal.
