Value Collection R80324362 1/4-20 X 3-1/2 in Hex Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R80324362 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for industrial, mechanical, and structural fastening applications. It is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with no additional finish coating, making it suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. The fastener follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard at 1/4-20, with a length under head of 3-1/2 inches. Measurement is expressed in the inch system. Plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals commonly use this screw in equipment assemblies, brackets, and enclosures that require reliable, corrosion-resistant fastening.

This hex head cap screw is well-suited for use in marine, chemical, food processing, and outdoor environments where Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh media compared to Grade 304. It is appropriate for both new equipment assembly and maintenance or replacement work on existing installations. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire length, making it a strong choice when threading into a nut or threaded insert over the full fastener length.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation
• Fully threaded along the entire 3-1/2 inch length under head
• 1/4-20 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with standard hardware
• Uncoated finish — no plating or treatment that could interfere with chemical or food-grade environments
• Inch measurement system for straightforward integration with standard tooling and hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC hex head cap screw for use with any 1/4-20 threaded nut, insert, or tapped hole requiring a 3-1/2 inch length under head in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 1/4-inch hex head fastener. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is also rated for the intended load and environmental exposure before installation. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastening or removing hardware from live assemblies. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance when tightening to avoid thread galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners — using anti-seize compound is a recognized field practice.
