1/4-28 x 1/2 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert is a stainless socket cap screw for assemblies that combine cleaning exposure with motion or vibration. The insert is positioned in the threaded body so the screw can develop prevailing torque during engagement.

Typical applications include pharmaceutical fixtures, inspection stations, and clean industrial work cells, where the exact thread and length help match drawings, service records, and replacement needs. Because 18-8 is not heat-treated for maximum clamp load, compare the 1960 Series Alloy Steel SHCS with Nylon Insert when joint strength is the governing requirement.

When chloride or saltwater exposure controls material selection, ask about 316 stainless nylon-insert cap screws as a non-catalog request. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and helps source exact stainless sizes and uncommon lengths.
