Value Collection R82222630 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222630 is a 5/16-24 hex head cap screw designed for precision fastening in applications requiring corrosion resistance and dimensional accuracy. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener measures 1.5 inches under the head and uses a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread standard. The 5/16-24 thread designation indicates a fine-pitch profile that provides strong clamping force and resistance to loosening under vibration. This screw is well suited for use in HVAC assemblies, plumbing equipment, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical applications where stainless hardware is specified.

This hex head cap screw is appropriate for both residential and light commercial installations where corrosion resistance is a priority. Fine-thread fasteners like this are commonly used in equipment panels, mounting brackets, fan assemblies, and other mechanical components that see moisture, chemicals, or thermal cycling. Installers working on outdoor or exposed equipment often specify 18-8 stainless hardware to avoid rust and galvanic issues common with zinc-plated alternatives. This fastener is sold individually and must be ordered in multiples of 10.

Key Features

• 5/16-24 UNF fine-thread profile for high clamping strength and vibration resistance
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides strong corrosion resistance in wet or chemically active environments
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating thickness variability for tight-tolerance fits
• 1.5-inch length under head suits medium-depth through-bolting applications
• Meets MS 35308-338D military standard for dimensional and material compliance
• Hex drive head compatible with standard hex wrenches and socket sets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 5/16-24 thread pattern. Conforms to MS 35308-338D dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket of the appropriate drive size. Always verify thread engagement depth and ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before fastening. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments prone to galvanic corrosion without appropriate isolation. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and relevant code requirements for the system being serviced.
