Value Collection R82222995 Hex Head Cap Screw 1/4-28

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82222995 is a 1/4-28 hex head cap screw measuring 5/8 inches under the head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish. This fastener follows the Unified National Fine (UNF) thread standard and meets MS 35308-305D specifications. It is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and structural connections where corrosion resistance is required. Licensed tradespeople including HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians reach for 18-8 stainless hardware when working in humid, wet, or chemically exposed environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

This screw is appropriate for light- to medium-duty fastening applications across residential and commercial installations. Typical use cases include equipment panel assembly, bracket mounting, and component replacement tasks where a fine-thread 1/4-inch fastener with corrosion resistance is specified. The fine 28-thread-per-inch pitch provides increased holding strength and better vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread equivalents of the same diameter, making it a reliable choice in trade service environments with mechanical vibration.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• 1/4-28 UNF thread offers finer pitch for improved holding strength and vibration resistance
• 5/8-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening applications
• Bright uncoated finish for consistent dimensional tolerances and bare-metal conductivity where needed
• Meets MS 35308-305D military standard specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1/4-28 UNF hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring an 18-8 stainless steel fastener of this thread size and length, conforming to MS 35308-305D.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 1/4-inch hex head cap screw. De-energize or depressurize any equipment before replacing fasteners on live systems. Apply anti-seize compound if installing stainless fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow the applicable mechanical or structural code for required torque class and fastener grade in the assembly being serviced.
