Value Collection R80064299 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R80064299 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in corrosion-resistant applications. Sized at 5/16-24 UNF with a 1-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. Grade 316 stainless offers superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to 304-series alloys, making it a reliable choice in marine, chemical, and outdoor service conditions. The hex drive head accepts standard wrenches and sockets for straightforward installation and removal.

This screw is suited for use in plumbing, HVAC, pool equipment, and general mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. The fine 24-TPI UNF thread pitch provides greater thread engagement and vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread fasteners of the same diameter. Typical applications include equipment panel mounting, pipe flange assembly, pump housings, and structural connections in wet or salt-air environments. The bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without added coating thickness.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for chloride and corrosion resistance
• 5/16-24 UNF fine thread for increased holding strength and vibration resistance
• Fully threaded shaft along the 1-inch length under head
• Bright uncoated finish maintains close dimensional tolerances
• Hex head drive accepts standard wrench and socket tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNF hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 5/16-24 fully threaded fastener in a corrosion-resistant material.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician using a correctly sized wrench or socket to avoid fastener damage. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Anti-seize compound is recommended when threading 316 stainless fasteners into stainless or dissimilar metal components to prevent galling. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the assembly being serviced.
