Armor Coat UST235981 Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235981 is a socket cap screw engineered for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. Manufactured from alloy steel with an Armor Coat finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener features a 7/16-14 thread size and a 2-1/2 inch length under head. The partially threaded shank provides a bearing surface that resists lateral shear loads. Drive interface is a 3/8 inch hex socket, compatible with standard Allen wrenches and hex-drive tooling. Manufactured to ASME B18.3 standards, this screw is suited for precision mechanical work where dimensional accuracy and material strength are critical. Tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on equipment assemblies, fixtures, and structural joints will find this fastener meets OEM-grade tolerances.

This socket cap screw is used in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications including pump and motor mounting, equipment frames, hydraulic manifold assemblies, and general mechanical fastening where a low-profile cap head and hex drive access are required. The Armor Coat finish provides added protection against corrosion in environments with exposure to moisture or light chemicals. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units, this screw is stocked for maintenance, repair, and production use.
