Armor Coat UST235977 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235977 is a hex socket cap screw engineered for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread and a 1-1/2 inch length under head, with full threading along the shank for maximum thread engagement. The screw is machined from alloy steel and finished with an Armor Coat protective coating to resist corrosion in demanding service environments. Driven by a 3/8 inch hex key, it meets ASME B18.3 dimensional standards. This fastener is suited for technicians, millwrights, and maintenance professionals working with precision bolted connections where torque retention and corrosion resistance are required.

This screw is used in a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment frames, pump and motor mounting, electrical enclosure assemblies, and general mechanical fabrication. The 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread is well suited for assemblies that require frequent disassembly and reassembly. The Armor Coat finish extends service life in environments with exposure to moisture or mild chemicals. It is typically installed individually or as part of a fastener pattern in tapped metal components.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1-1/2 inch length under head with full threading for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength and durability
• Armor Coat finish provides corrosion resistance in moisture-exposed environments
• 3/8 inch hex drive for use with standard hex keys and Allen drive sockets
• Meets ASME B18.3 dimensional standards for precision fit and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a 7/16-14 UNC fully threaded alloy steel fastener with a 3/8 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 3/8 inch hex key or Allen-drive socket tool. Ensure the mating tapped hole meets 7/16-14 UNC thread specifications and is free of debris before driving the screw. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as appropriate for the service environment. Follow applicable torque specifications per the equipment manufacturer or relevant mechanical standards for alloy steel socket cap screws of this diameter.
