Armor Coat UST235796 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14 Grade 8

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235796 is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw with a 7/16-14 UNC thread and a 1-3/4 inch length under head. It is partially threaded, making it well-suited for applications that require the shank to bear load without thread interference. Grade 8 fasteners meet the mechanical requirements of SAE J429 and the dimensional standards of ASME B18.2.1, providing higher tensile and proof-load strength compared to lower-grade hardware. This screw is a standard inch-system fastener used across industrial, mechanical, and trade assembly applications.

This hex head cap screw is used in structural fastening applications where high clamping force is required. Partial threading is common in through-bolt assemblies, flange connections, and mechanical equipment mounting where the unthreaded shank resists shear loads. HVAC equipment mounting, pump and motor mounting, and general mechanical assembly are all typical use cases. Installation is performed by any trade that works with bolted assemblies. The minimum order quantity for this fastener is 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction meets SAE J429 tensile and proof-load requirements
• Partially threaded shank provides shear resistance in through-bolt and flange applications
• 7/16-14 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• Dimensionally compliant with ASME B18.2.1 hex head cap screw standard
• Inch-system measurement throughout: thread size, length, and head dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-system hex head cap screw for use with 7/16-14 UNC nuts and tapped holes in industrial, mechanical, and trade equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for a 7/16-14 UNC fastener. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening or removing bolts on live machinery. Grade 8 fasteners should not be substituted with lower-grade hardware in structural or load-bearing joints. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards for the assembly being serviced.
