Value Collection 209152C Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14 2.5in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 209152C is a hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications requiring corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid resistance to rust and oxidation in wet, outdoor, and mildly corrosive environments. The 7/16-14 thread designation indicates a 7/16-inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. The shank measures 2.5 inches from the underside of the head to the tip. The 5/8-inch hex drive accepts a standard hex wrench or socket. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, mechanical systems, and structural assemblies commonly use this fastener grade.

This cap screw is suited for use in residential and commercial trade applications where a standard UNC fastener with stainless steel composition is required. Typical install scenarios include mounting brackets, equipment frames, flanges, and mechanical assemblies that see moisture exposure or require periodic removal without galling concerns. The 18-8 alloy is compatible with most stainless and carbon steel hardware in these contexts.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 7/16-14 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 2.5-inch length under head accommodates moderate stack-up thicknesses
• 5/8-inch hex drive accepts common wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system with Unified National Coarse thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series hex head cap screw suitable for use wherever a 7/16-14 x 2.5-inch stainless steel fastener is specified in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified tradespeople following applicable mechanical or structural codes. Apply appropriate torque using a calibrated torque wrench sized for a 5/8-inch hex drive. When fastening into stainless steel tapped holes, use an anti-galling lubricant to prevent thread seizure. Inspect mating threads for damage or contamination before installation.
