Value Collection R88412814 Hex Head Cap Screw 5/16-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R88412814 is a hex head cap screw in a 5/16-24 UNF thread size with a 1-1/4-inch length under head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener is partially threaded and sized for applications where corrosion resistance and precise thread engagement are critical. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 10 units. Tradespeople working in marine, chemical, food-service, or outdoor environments rely on 316 stainless for its superior resistance to chlorides and pitting compared to standard 304 alloy.

This screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections in corrosive or wet environments. The 5/16-24 UNF thread provides finer thread engagement than its UNC counterpart, making it appropriate for applications requiring tighter tolerances, reduced vibration loosening, or use in thinner material cross-sections. It is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general maintenance trades working on equipment exposed to moisture, salt air, or chemical wash-down conditions.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chloride resistance
• 5/16-24 UNF thread for fine-pitch engagement and vibration resistance
• 1-1/4-inch length under head for adequate grip in standard structural assemblies
• Partially threaded shank allows for clamping force without thread interference in clearance holes
• Uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and is compatible with stainless nuts and hardware
• Sold per piece with a minimum order quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNF hex head cap screw compatible with any 5/16-24 threaded hole or nut conforming to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 5/16-inch hex head cap screw. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener replacement on live assemblies. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in wet environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Torque to the assembly specification provided by the equipment manufacturer.
