3/4-10 x 2 1/2 Zinc Grade 2 Hex Head Cap Screw

Description

3/4-10 x 2 1/2 Grade 2 Zinc Hex Cap Screw is a light-duty fastener made from low-carbon steel with a zinc plating finish, suitable for non-critical fastening applications in dry or indoor environments.

Hex cap screws have a flat bearing surface, a hexagonal head, and a partially or fully threaded shank. Their six-sided head allows for easy tightening with standard wrenches and sockets, making them a practical choice for general-purpose assembly.

Grade 2 Zinc

• Grade 2 zinc hex cap screws are made from low-carbon steel, offering lower tensile strength than Grade 5 or Grade 8 alternatives
• Best suited for light-duty, non-critical applications where high strength is not a requirement

3/4-10 x 2 1/2 Grade 2 Zinc Hex Cap Screw Features

• High torque capacity due to the six-sided head, allowing use with wrenches, ratchets, and impact drivers
• Versatile thread options available in partial or full thread configurations for different grip and holding requirements
• Cost-effective option for general-purpose, low-stress fastening needs

Common Uses

• Light-duty indoor fastening of wood, metal, or plastic components
• Furniture assembly, shelving, and non-structural construction applications
• General manufacturing and consumer product assembly

Application

• Only insert into a pre-drilled and, when required, tapped hole
• Use a wrench, socket, or impact driver sized to the hex head
• Pair with an appropriate nut and washer for through-bolting applications; use with a tapped hole when threading directly into material

Tips

• Always use a washer under the head to distribute load and prevent surface damage
• Hex cap screws are measured from directly under the head to the tip of the threaded shank
• Not recommended for high-stress, outdoor, or corrosive environments — consider Grade 5 or Grade 8 for higher load requirements
