Value Collection 014330BR Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/8-9 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014330BR is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required. Threaded at 7/8-9 UNC with a 2-inch length under head, this screw accepts a 3/4-inch hex drive for installation with a standard Allen key or hex bit. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it provides superior resistance to rust, oxidation, and chemical exposure. The cap head profile delivers a low-clearance clamping surface suited for precision assemblies. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians working in wet, marine, or chemically active environments commonly specify Grade 316 for its elevated molybdenum content.

This cap screw is applicable across a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and maintenance installations. Typical uses include equipment frames, pump housings, valve assemblies, pipe flanges, and structural fixtures in corrosive or outdoor environments. The 7/8-9 UNC coarse thread engages quickly and resists cross-threading during assembly, making it a reliable choice where frequent disassembly and reassembly is expected. Plumbers, pipefitters, millwrights, and general industrial mechanics frequently use this fastener size for medium-to-heavy-duty connections.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• 7/8-9 UNC coarse thread for fast engagement and reliable clamping load
• 2-inch length under head provides adequate thread engagement for medium-to-heavy structural connections
• 3/4-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen wrenches and hex bits
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency and avoids coating buildup in threaded holes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any application requiring a 7/8-9 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 2-inch length under head in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, pipefitter, or maintenance technician using a calibrated torque wrench and the appropriate 3/4-inch hex key or bit driver. Always ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as appropriate for the service environment to prevent galling, which is common with stainless steel fasteners. Do not exceed the rated torque for the thread size and material grade as specified by applicable engineering standards.
