Armor Coat UST235982 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The ARMOR COAT UST235982 is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical, industrial, and trade service environments. Built from alloy steel and finished with an Armor Coat protective coating, this fastener resists corrosion and surface wear under demanding conditions. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread profile, a 2.75-inch length under head, and a 3/8-inch hex drive socket. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement throughout the grip length. This screw conforms to ASME B18.3 fastener standards, making it suitable for precision assembly work where dimensional accuracy and material grade are required.

This cap screw is used in structural and mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, pool equipment frames, and general industrial fabrication. The 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread is commonly found in steel-to-steel assemblies and tapped hole applications where thread stripping resistance and installation speed are priorities. The Armor Coat finish adds a layer of corrosion protection suited to both indoor and outdoor service environments. Technicians in light fabrication, equipment maintenance, and field repair work rely on this screw type for reliable, repeatable fastener performance.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for strong thread engagement in steel assemblies
• 2.75-inch length under head provides ample grip length for thick-stack applications
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and socket tools
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread contact and clamping force
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile and shear strength
• Armor Coat finish provides corrosion and abrasion 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 3/8-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/8-inch hex key or socket driver rated for the torque demands of the application. Ensure the receiving tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Always de-energize or shut off equipment before performing any fastener work on powered systems. Follow applicable industry torque guidelines for alloy steel socket cap screws at this thread size.
