Value Collection 30081 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 Grade 5 Zinc 100pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 30081 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener measures 7/16-14 thread size with a 1-1/2 inch length under head. The UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread standard provides reliable thread engagement in standard tapped holes and nuts. The zinc plating offers a baseline level of corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor use. This package contains 100 screws, making it a practical supply quantity for maintenance crews, contractors, and fabricators working on repetitive fastening tasks.

This screw is suited for use in structural steel connections, equipment assembly, HVAC equipment mounting, and general mechanical fabrication. Grade 5 steel provides moderate tensile strength for medium-duty fastening applications. The partial threading is appropriate where a smooth shank portion is needed between the bearing surface and the threaded engagement zone, a common requirement in bolted joint assemblies. Trades working in HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and general construction will find this fastener compatible with standard hex nuts and washers in 7/16-inch hardware.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread — compatible with standard coarse-thread hex nuts and tapped holes
• Grade 5 steel construction provides medium-duty tensile strength for structural and mechanical applications
• Zinc-plated finish for baseline corrosion resistance
• Partially threaded shank for applications requiring a smooth grip length under the head
• 1-1/2 inch length under head suits a wide range of material stack thicknesses
• 100-piece pack quantity supports production, maintenance, and service work

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 7/16-14 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers in inch-series hardware. Fits standard tapped holes and clearance holes sized for 7/16-inch fasteners per common mechanical and structural specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for the fastener head. Follow applicable torque specifications for Grade 5 fasteners as outlined in the fastener manufacturer guidelines or relevant structural codes for the application. Avoid mixing zinc-plated hardware with dissimilar metals in wet environments where galvanic corrosion is a concern. Inspect threads for damage before installation and do not use impact tools at torque levels that exceed the fastener grade rating.
