Product Description
Eskimo 48240 – 1/4-20 x 1-1/2" Hex Head Cap Screw (HHCS), Grade 5, Zinc-Plated
The Eskimo 48240 Bolt is a high-strength, precision-engineered fastener designed specifically for applications requiring secure mechanical connection in harsh environments. This 1/4"-20 x 1-1/2" Hex Head Cap Screw (HHCS) is constructed from Grade 5 steel, offering a medium carbon alloy composition that provides a robust balance of tensile strength, hardness, and durability.
The zinc-plated finish enhances corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in cold-weather power equipment where moisture and condensation are frequent concerns. The coarse thread (20 TPI) ensures a strong hold in pre-tapped holes or when used with compatible nuts, reducing the likelihood of thread stripping under vibration or thermal cycling.
