1/4-20 x 7/8 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert pairs stainless construction with a nylon locking pellet for joints exposed to moisture and vibration. The insert is positioned in the threaded body so the screw can develop prevailing torque during engagement.

Typical applications include processing equipment, maintenance repair, and replacement fastener work, where the exact thread and length help match drawings, service records, and replacement needs. The 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material is used for general corrosion resistance and a clean appearance in ordinary industrial environments.

For rounded exposed heads with the same locking concept, review 18-8 Button Head Socket Cap Screws with Nylon Insert. Cold Headers has supplied specialty socket fasteners since 1962 and helps source exact stainless sizes and uncommon lengths. 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.
