Holo-krome 72214 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The HOLO-KROME 72214 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade service work. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread size with a 3.5-inch length under head and accepts a 3/8-inch hex drive. The fastener is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, which provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection in service environments. This cap screw meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for structural and mechanical assemblies where a recognized fastener specification is required. Machinists, millwrights, and field service technicians typically install this type of fastener.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for use in machinery assembly, equipment mounting, and mechanical maintenance applications where a recessed hex drive is preferred over external-drive fasteners. The partial threading allows for precise clamping in through-bolt and clearance-hole configurations. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, industrial maintenance, and OEM assembly environments where ASME B18.3 socket head cap screws are specified.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3.5-inch length under head accommodates deeper stack assemblies
• Partial threading supports accurate clamping and load distribution in clearance-hole applications
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and socket drive tools
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 high-strength fastener requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-reflectance appearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style and aftermarket replacement hex socket cap screw for applications specifying ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 compliant 7/16-14 UNC partially threaded socket head cap screws.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified machinists, millwrights, or mechanical technicians familiar with fastener torque specifications for alloy steel socket cap screws. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Use a properly sized 3/8-inch hex key or socket drive tool to avoid rounding the drive recess. Consult the applicable equipment manual or engineering specification for required torque values, as none are specified for this fastener in the available product data.
