5/8-11 x 1-1/2 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 50qty
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
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- 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)
- Alloy Steel Black Material
- 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.
- 5/8-11 Diameter, 1-1/2" Length

Metallics JSHC58112 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What thread does the Metallics JSHC58112 socket head cap screw have, and will it thread into a standard 5/8-11 tapped hole?
The JSHC58112 is a 5/8-11 UN thread, 11 threads per inch, in a 1-1/2 inch length. That is the standard coarse 5/8 inch series, so it threads into any 5/8-11 tapped hole or nut. Dimensions follow ASME B18.3-2012 for socket head cap screws.
2) How big a counterbore do I need for a 5/8 inch socket head cap screw?
Size the counterbore off the head: the JSHC58112 head measures 0.921 to 0.938 inch across and 0.616 to 0.625 inch high. Bore just over 0.938 inch diameter for clearance, and at least 0.625 inch deep if you want the head flush. Because the screw is internally wrenched, no wrench clearance around the head is needed, which is why it needs less surface area than a hex head bolt of the same size.
3) Is this stronger than a Grade 8 hex bolt for a structural or equipment mounting job?
The alloy steel socket head cap screw is rated at 170,000 psi minimum tensile and 153,000 psi minimum yield, hardness Rockwell C37, which is greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws. The payoff is strength in a smaller footprint, since it is wrenched from inside the head rather than across the flats.
4) Do these screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded project?
No. The JSHC58112 cap screw is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with multiple countries of origin. On a federally funded job with domestic sourcing requirements, you will need a domestically produced socket head cap screw instead.
5) What size hex key drives a Metallics 5/8-11 socket head cap screw, and how deep is the socket?
It takes a hex (Allen) key in the socket head, with a socket depth of 0.307 inch and a wall thickness of 0.238 inch at the socket. Use a hex key in good condition and seat it fully, because a 170,000 psi alloy screw will take more torque than a worn key will tolerate.
6) Is the black finish on these alloy cap screws suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The JSHC58112 is plain alloy steel with a black finish, not a plated or galvanized corrosion coating. It is intended for electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work in dry or protected locations. For exterior or damp mounting, specify a zinc plated or stainless cap screw instead.
7) Are Metallics JSHC58112 cap screws sold individually or by the box?
They ship in a jar of 50 with a 50 each order minimum, so the smallest purchase is one 50 piece jar rather than a single screw. Total weight on the jar is 4.62 lbs.
8) Can I get this same socket head cap screw in a different length or a larger quantity?
Yes. The Metallics SHC series socket head cap screws are offered in other sizes and quantities by request; the JSHC58112 is specifically the 5/8-11 by 1-1/2 inch in a 50 piece jar. If you are standardizing a maintenance stock across several diameters, ask for the sizes you need in the SHC series.
