Holo-krome 72210 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 72210 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw engineered for high-strength fastening in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread size and a 3-inch length under head, making it suitable for applications that require a secure grip through thicker workpieces. The 3/8-inch hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver for reliable torque transfer. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener provides improved corrosion resistance and reduces light glare in finished assemblies. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contractors rely on alloy steel cap screws like this one for equipment mounting, bracket fabrication, and structural fastening tasks.

This screw is appropriate for general industrial, mechanical, and trade-service applications where a strong, compact fastener is needed in metal-to-metal joints. The coarse 14 threads-per-inch pitch offers fast engagement and good resistance to loosening under vibration — a common concern in HVAC equipment bases, pump housings, compressor mounts, and similar service environments. It meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards, confirming its suitability for critical load-bearing connections.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for fast engagement and vibration resistance
• 3-inch length under head accommodates thicker stack-ups and flanged joints
• Partial threading allows clamping force to be concentrated at the joint interface
• 3/8-inch hex drive accepts standard hex keys and socket drivers
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish adds mild corrosion resistance and reduces reflectivity
• Meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for industrial and mechanical equipment requiring 7/16-14 UNC hex socket cap screws conforming to ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed mechanical contractors, millwrights, or qualified service technicians using a calibrated hex key or hex socket driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable ASME or equipment-manufacturer torque specifications for 7/16-14 fasteners — do not over-torque, as alloy steel cap screws can fracture if driven beyond their rated proof load. Verify thread engagement depth meets minimum requirements for the joint material before final assembly.
