5/16-18 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. Its locking element supports service where a standard all-metal cap screw may need an added thread-locking feature.
This size is often reviewed for bottling lines, guide rails, and cleaning-cycle equipment when a stainless cap screw must retain a familiar socket head form. 18-8 stainless is a practical choice for ordinary moisture exposure, washdown-adjacent machinery, and equipment where a clean stainless finish is specified.
Use the exact thread, length, pellet diameter, and pellet location when matching drawings or service records. Since 1962, Cold Headers has helped buyers locate specialty socket fasteners for production, repair, and distributor requirements. The 1960 Series name identifies the modern ASME B18.3 head-proportion standard for socket head cap screws, successor to the older 1936 series, not a year of manufacture.
