Value Collection R88412096 Hex Head Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R88412096 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and dimensional reliability. Sized at 1-8 UNC thread with a 3-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel and left uncoated with a bright finish. The 316 alloy provides superior resistance to chlorides and chemical exposure compared to 304-series stainless, making it a go-to choice in harsh or wet environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and marine service technicians commonly specify this grade when standard carbon steel fasteners are not acceptable for the installation environment.

This hex head cap screw is suited for use in corrosive environments including coastal installations, chemical processing areas, pool and spa equipment assemblies, plumbing fixture mounting, and marine applications. The UNC thread form is the standard inch-series coarse thread, compatible with standard 1-8 UNC tapped holes and nuts. Fully threaded along the entire shank length, it works in through-bolt and tapped-hole configurations without a grip-length limitation.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for elevated chloride and corrosion resistance
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in tapped holes and through-bolt applications
• 1-8 UNC coarse thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-series hardware
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy without coating buildup on threads
• Hex head drive accepts standard SAE hex wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any 1-8 UNC tapped hole or matching nut in residential, commercial, or industrial fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized SAE hex wrench or socket driver rated for the fastener size. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to threads before assembly to prevent thread seizure. Never use impact tools at high speed on stainless fasteners without lubrication. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque requirements based on joint design and material.
