Value Collection R82230466 Hex Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 2 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R82230466 is a 5/16-18 x 2-inch hex head cap screw machined from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated. The UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread form provides reliable engagement across a wide range of threaded holes and standard nuts. At 0.0049 pounds, this fastener is lightweight but built to resist corrosion in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments where carbon steel hardware would fail prematurely. It is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical contractors wherever a corrosion-resistant hex drive fastener is required.

This screw is suited for both residential and light commercial applications. Common install scenarios include securing equipment access panels, mounting brackets, pipe supports, electrical enclosures, pool equipment housings, and other assemblies exposed to moisture or mild corrosives. The hex head accepts a standard hex wrench or socket, making it compatible with routine hand and power tool workflows on the job site or in the shop.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 5/16-18 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard threaded hardware
• 2-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Uncoated finish preserves dimensional accuracy and avoids coating-related thread fit issues
• Meets multiple military standards (MS series) for dimensional and material compliance

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for a 5/16-18 cap screw head. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening near electrical components. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with carbon steel hardware in the same assembly, as galvanic corrosion can develop over time. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for the trade and jurisdiction where the fastener is used.
