5/8"-18 L9 Hex Head Cap Screw – Fine Thread Alloy Steel Zinc Yellow CR+3 (Made in U.S.A.)

Our 5/8"-18 L9 Hex Head Cap Screws bring unparalleled strength and reliability to high-demand applications. These premium screws are manufactured in the USA from high-grade alloy steel, offering an exceptional tensile strength of 180,000 PSI. Ideal for critical projects requiring enhanced durability, these screws meet the toughest standards for secure fastening in dynamic environments.

Why Choose L9 Hex Head Cap Screws?

L9 fasteners represent the highest SAE grade for hex cap screws, specially engineered for applications where maximum strength is a priority. Identified by nine radial lines and the "L9" marking, these screws are known for their superior performance. The fine thread (UNF) design allows for greater holding power and better clamp load distribution, while the Zinc Yellow CR+3 finish ensures exceptional corrosion resistance and durability.

Enhanced Design Features:

• Increased Head Height: Slightly taller than standard hex heads, allowing for more secure wrenching and reduced slippage.
• Radius Under Head: Reduces stress concentrations, enhancing resistance against fatigue failure.
• Smooth Washer-Bearing Surface: Provides even load distribution to prevent loosening in high-stress settings.
