5/16-18 x 1-1/4 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 100qty
Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request | Cap screws of a length 3D or greater, where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw, are subject to tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area testing.
Features
- Elongation is 10% minimum (applies to machined specimens of lenglh at least 4D where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw) and Reduction of Area is 33% minimum (applies to machined specimens)
- Supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade-5 or Grade-8 hex head cap screws while requiring less surface area or counterbore since the fastener is intenally wrenched.
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- 5/16-18 Diameter, 1-1/4" Length

Metallics JSHC516114 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will a 5/16-18 socket head cap screw thread into a standard 5/16 coarse tapped hole or Unistrut nut?
Yes. The Metallics JSHC516114 is a 5/16-18 UN thread, 18 threads per inch, which is the standard coarse pitch for 5/16 fasteners. It will run into any 5/16-18 tapped hole, channel nut, or strut nut. If your hardware is 5/16-24 fine thread, this is the wrong screw.
2) Is a socket head cap screw stronger than a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex bolt?
The alloy steel socket head cap screw carries 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, which is greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws, and it does it while needing less surface area or counterbore because it is wrenched from inside the head. Hardness is Rockwell C39. That combination is why these get specified in tight pockets where a hex head will not clear.
3) Can I use these black alloy socket cap screws outdoors or in a wet location?
Keep them dry. The finish is a plain black alloy steel with no corrosion-resistant plating, so outdoors or in damp vaults and wet locations it will rust. These are meant for the electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning trades in interior, protected assemblies. For exposed work, specify a zinc plated or stainless socket cap screw instead.
4) Do Metallics JSHC516114 socket cap screws meet Buy American or ARRA requirements on a federal job?
No. The JSHC516114 is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing language, these will not satisfy the requirement.
5) What size hex key do I need to drive the Metallics JSHC516114 socket cap screw?
It is an internally wrenched socket head with a hex drive, so you need an Allen key rather than a wrench on the outside of the head. Socket depth is 0.151 in. Because the driving is internal, the head needs far less clearance around it than a hex head bolt of the same strength.
6) How do these Metallics cap screws ship, and is there a minimum quantity?
They come in a jar, 100 pieces, and 100 is the order minimum. The packed jar weighs 3.31 lbs. If you need a different count or a different length in the SHC series, other sizes and quantities are available by request.
7) I need to order more of the same screw later. What is the part number?
Order it by manufacturer part number JSHC516114, Metallics SHC series, 5/16-18 x 1-1/4 in. socket head cap screw in black alloy steel. That single number pins the diameter, thread, length, head style and finish.
