Carpenter Paterson 162-78x214 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/8x2-1/4

Product Description

The CARPENTER PATERSON 162-78x214 is a hex head cap screw engineered for piping and mechanical support applications in commercial and industrial systems. Manufactured from low carbon steel with a plain finish, this fastener meets ASME B31.1 and MSS-SP 58 standards, making it appropriate for power piping and pipe support assemblies. The 7/8-inch nominal diameter with UNC threading and a 2-1/4-inch length provides strong clamping force in standard piping hangers, clamps, and structural support hardware. Installation is handled by mechanical contractors and pipefitters working to applicable code requirements.

This cap screw is suited for use in pipe support and hanger assemblies in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and power piping installations. Its plain finish and low carbon steel construction are consistent with typical uncoated indoor fastener applications. Compliance with ASME B31.1 and MSS-SP 58 makes it a direct-fit choice for piping support hardware specified to those standards.
