1/4-20 x 1/4 1960 Series 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screw with Nylon Insert is selected when stainless hardware and thread-friction locking are needed in the same fastener. Its locking element supports service where a standard all-metal cap screw may need an added thread-locking feature.

Use it for wash-bay equipment, maintenance fixtures, or replacement assemblies after confirming thread engagement, drive access, and the mating material. Slight magnetism from cold working can be normal for 18-8 stainless, so selection should reflect the actual assembly environment and mating hardware.

Use the exact thread, length, pellet diameter, and pellet location when matching drawings or service records. For non-catalog pellet positions or unusual sizes, in-house pelletizing at the Chicago facility gives Cold Headers added sourcing flexibility.
