Value Collection R82222609 Hex Cap Screw 5/16-24 X 1 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222609 is a 5/16-24 hex head cap screw machined from 18-8 stainless steel and supplied without coating. The 5/16-24 thread designation indicates a 5/16-inch nominal diameter with 24 threads per inch on a Unified Fine (UNF) thread form. The length under head measures 1 inch. This fastener is used across mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical assembly applications where mild corrosion resistance and standard tensile strength are required. It meets the MS 35308-334D military specification, making it appropriate for controlled-installation environments where a recognized fastener standard is required.

This screw is suited for light-to-medium duty fastening in residential and light commercial equipment assemblies. Typical applications include panel attachment, bracket mounting, and component securing in HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and plumbing fixtures. The fine thread pitch provides stronger thread engagement in thin-walled or tapped metal compared to coarse thread equivalents. Installation is performed by licensed tradespeople or qualified maintenance technicians during equipment assembly or field repair.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF thread form for strong engagement in tapped metal applications
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments
• Uncoated finish — no plating variability affecting thread fit or torque values
• Meets MS 35308-334D military specification for dimensional and material compliance
• 1-inch length under head suits typical panel and bracket fastening depths

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 5/16-24 fastener in 18-8 stainless steel per MS 35308-334D.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket sized for the 5/16-inch hex head. De-energize all electrical circuits and shut off fluid supply before replacing fasteners in live equipment. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in high-current or galvanic-exposure environments without appropriate isolation. Follow equipment manufacturer torque specifications and applicable codes for the system being serviced.
