1/4-28 x 1 1/4 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert supports compact internal-hex fastening where a backed-out screw would create a service problem. The pellet presses against the mating thread to provide prevailing torque without changing the socket head geometry.
In HVAC equipment in humid plants, damper hardware, or service panels, the internal hex drive keeps installation compact while the insert adds thread-friction locking action. The nylon element gives the joint a locking feature, but it also limits service temperature compared with an all-metal socket screw.
For torque-once joints where a locking pellet is not required, plain 18-8 Socket Head Cap Screws may be the simpler routing. For non-catalog pellet positions or unusual sizes, in-house pelletizing at the Chicago facility gives Cold Headers added sourcing flexibility.
