Value Collection 3SSCS97C200 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3SSCS97C200 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength. Sized at 7/16-14 UNC with a 2-inch length under head, this fastener is partially threaded and accepts a 3/8-inch hex drive. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards. It is well suited for mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and equipment installations across plumbing, HVAC, and general industrial environments where moisture exposure is a factor.

This screw is appropriate for use in both residential and light commercial applications where a corrosion-resistant socket head cap screw is required. The 7/16-14 UNC thread form is a coarse unified national thread, making it compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts of that designation. Partial threading allows for better load distribution in thicker material applications. Installers working on equipment frames, brackets, valve assemblies, and similar structural connections will find this fastener a direct fit for standard design requirements.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread form for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head with partial threading for improved load distribution in thick stock
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and socket tooling
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel construction rated to Material Grade A2 for corrosion resistance
• Bright uncoated finish — no coating to crack, peel, or interfere with thread engagement
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7/16-14 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3 compliant socket head cap fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, HVAC mechanics, or general tradespeople using a 3/8-inch hex key or Allen-drive socket. Always ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling, which is a known risk with stainless-on-stainless fastener pairs. Consider applying an appropriate anti-seize compound to reduce galling during installation and future removal. Power down or depressurize any system before working on fastened assemblies to ensure safe service conditions.
