Use this overview to narrow choices by thread format, stated construction or designation, and the available example pack quantities.
| Option type | Representative choices | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| UNC inch-thread screws | 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-16, and 1/2-13 examples | Match thread count, diameter, length, stated Grade 5 requirement where applicable, and pack size. |
| Metric stainless steel screws | M6 x 1.0 examples in 304 stainless steel | Match metric thread pitch and length, including 10 mm and 40 mm examples. |
| Metric steel screws | M8, M10, M12, and M14 examples | Compare pitch, length, stated Grade 8.8 or Class 8.8 designation where listed, finish where listed, and pack quantity. |
Plan the right fit before choosing
Choose inch or metric sizing
A screw must match the threaded hole or nut used in the assembly. The available examples span UNC inch sizes such as 1/4-20, 5/16-18, 3/8-16, and 1/2-13, as well as metric sizes including M6 x 1.0, M8 x 1.25, M10 x 1.5, M12 x 1.25, and M14 x 1.5.
- Match the stated diameter and thread designation to the receiving thread.
- Select the required length, from examples such as 10 mm and 20 mm to 70 mm, or 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches.
- Do not substitute a different pitch, thread count, or diameter for a matching thread.
Review stated grade and construction
For applications calling for medium strength and controlled clamp force, the represented Grade 5 screws are identified for those requirements, including higher-load assemblies. Other examples carry a Grade 8.8 or Class 8.8 designation. Material choices represented include 18-8 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and steel.
- Use the stated grade requirement as a key purchasing checkpoint.
- Compare stainless steel and steel constructions according to the specified assembly requirement.
- Some steel examples are identified with clear zinc, zinc-plated, zinc-coated, or Zinc CR+3 finishes.
Select a practical pack quantity
Hex heads allow tightening and removal with a compatible wrench, socket, or hex-driving tool. For repeated work, choose a pack quantity that aligns with the number of matching fasteners needed for the job or for replenishment.
- Confirm whether the screw will be used in a tapped hole, with a nut, or either arrangement.
- Use 25-piece, 50-piece, or 100-piece pack options to support project and stocking needs.
- Keep matching-size screws together for consistent assembly work.
