Armor Coat UST235980 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235980 is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening in industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. Manufactured from alloy steel and finished with an Armor Coat corrosion-resistant coating, this fastener handles demanding environments where standard zinc-plated screws fall short. The 7/16-14 UNC thread is fully threaded from tip to head, providing consistent clamping force along the full length. Drive size is 3/8 inch hex, requiring a standard hex key or Allen driver. Conforms to ASME B18.3 standards, making it a verified fit for precision assembly work.

This screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural fastening in HVAC, industrial machinery, and general trade installations. The 2.25-inch length under head accommodates moderate stack heights in bolted connections. The Armor Coat finish provides added protection against moisture and mild chemical exposure, making it appropriate for both indoor mechanical rooms and protected outdoor installations. Each unit is sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC fully threaded for consistent clamping across full length
• Armor Coat finish for corrosion resistance beyond standard plating
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding applications
• 3/8 inch hex drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Conforms to ASME B18.3 fastener standard
• 2.25-inch length under head suitable for moderate stack-depth assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw for any application requiring a 7/16-14 UNC thread, 2.25-inch length under head, and 3/8 inch hex drive in alloy steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical or maintenance technicians using a 3/8 inch hex key or socket driver. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener service to comply with applicable LOTO procedures. Do not substitute with lower-grade fasteners in load-bearing or high-vibration assemblies. Thread engagement should meet minimum depth requirements per ASME guidelines for the mating material.
