Armor Coat UST235973 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235973 is a hex socket cap screw designed for industrial and mechanical fastening applications requiring a secure, recessed-drive connection. Built from alloy steel with an Armor Coat finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener features a 7/16-14 UNC thread size and is fully threaded along its 5/8-inch length under head. The 3/8-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen wrenches. Manufactured to ASME B18.3 standards, it delivers consistent dimensional accuracy and reliable clamp load in demanding service conditions. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades use this type of fastener where a flush or low-profile head is required.

This screw is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, and structural fastening tasks across residential and commercial applications. The fully threaded design maximizes thread engagement across the full grip length, making it well-suited for thin-material assemblies or applications where thread engagement must begin close to the bearing surface. Its Armor Coat finish provides added protection against corrosion in moderate-exposure environments, extending service life compared to plain alloy steel fasteners.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• Armor Coat finish provides corrosion resistance
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 7/16-14 UNC fully threaded fastener with a hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized 3/8-inch hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable torque specifications for the joint material and fastener grade as outlined in your project or equipment documentation. Always power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener work on live assemblies.
