1/2-20 x 5/16 18-8 Stainless Hex Head Cap Screw

Use the 1/2-20 x 5/16 18-8 stainless hex head cap screw when the assembly calls for side wrench access and a general-purpose bolt pattern. In this size range it is treated as a hex head cap screw, with the hex head driven by external tooling rather than an internal socket.

Common application reviews include machine bases, structural brackets, and tapped-hole fastening points. When the design calls for a recessed counterbored fastener or tighter tool clearance, compare 18-8 Socket Head Cap Screws.

18-8 stainless steel is an 18% chromium and 8% nickel austenitic stainless material used for ordinary atmosphere, moisture exposure, washdown, and clean appearance. Cold Headers' catalog work is strongest where the requested size, material, and application details need a careful match.
