What is a socket head cap screw?

A socket head cap screw, often abbreviated as SHCS, is a type of bolt that uses a hex (Allen) wrench for tightening. The head is cylindrical with a socket for the wrench, allowing for a clean look and flush mounting in many applications.

Why is stainless steel used for this screw?

Stainless steel is used because it offers good resistance to rust and corrosion. This is especially beneficial for engine components that may be exposed to moisture, heat, or various fluids over time.

What size hex key (Allen wrench) is needed for this screw?

While not explicitly stated, a 5/16-18 x 3/4 inch socket head cap screw typically uses a 3/16 inch hex key. Always confirm with the manufacturer's specifications if unsure.

About this part

Product Details

This is a S&S Cycle 5/16-18 thread by 3/4 inch long socket head cap screw. It's made from stainless steel, which helps resist corrosion, making it a solid choice for various engine applications where durability and resistance to the elements are important.

The socket head cap screw design means it uses a hex key (Allen wrench) for installation and removal. This type of fastener is often used in situations where a clean look is desired or where space is tight, as the hex socket sits flush or slightly below the surface once tightened. Its stainless steel build means it won't rust easily, which is a big plus for engine components that might be exposed to moisture or heat.
