Value Collection R82222845 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-20

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222845 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in corrosion-sensitive environments. Machined to 1/4-20 UNC thread specifications with a 3.5-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated to preserve the base material's natural corrosion resistance. The hex head drive accepts standard wrenches and sockets for reliable torque application. This screw is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and mechanical contractors wherever a durable, rust-resistant fastener is required in wet, humid, or chemically exposed installations.

This fastener is suited for light structural, equipment mounting, and panel assembly applications across residential and commercial trade work. The 1/4-20 UNC thread pattern is one of the most widely used coarse-thread standards in North American trade applications, making this screw compatible with a broad range of tapped holes, nuts, and threaded inserts. Fully threaded construction provides maximum thread engagement along the entire shank length, which is particularly useful in thin-material or through-bolt configurations. Installers working in pool mechanical rooms, outdoor equipment enclosures, and plumbing chases will find the 18-8 stainless composition appropriate for moisture-prone environments.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to rust and oxidation without a coating
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement for secure clamping across the full 3.5-inch length
• 1/4-20 UNC coarse thread pattern fits the most common tapped holes and standard hex nuts
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating delamination risk in wet or chemically active environments
• Hex head drive accepts standard 7/16-inch wrenches and sockets for straightforward installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-20 UNC fully threaded hex head cap screw for use with compatible 1/4-20 nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes in inch-measurement fastening applications.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by any licensed trade professional using standard hand or power tools capable of driving a hex head fastener. De-energize or depressurize any system before fastening components to it. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in direct contact where galvanic corrosion is a concern. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when torquing stainless fasteners to prevent galling during installation.
