Value Collection 43128CH2 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14x8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 43128CH2 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener measures 7/16-14 thread size at 8 inches under the head. The Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form provides reliable engagement in standard tapped holes and nuts. A licensed mechanic, millwright, or general contractor typically installs this hardware as part of bolted connections where moderate tensile strength and corrosion resistance are adequate for the application.

This cap screw suits a wide range of light-to-medium duty fastening tasks in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to act as a shoulder or alignment feature in through-bolt assemblies. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards, making it appropriate for applications where documented dimensional and grade compliance is required. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion protection suitable for indoor and dry-environment use.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard tapped holes and hex nuts
• 8-inch length under head accommodates thick stock or stacked assemblies
• Partial threading with unthreaded shank section for shoulder or clearance-hole applications
• Grade 2 steel construction meets SAE J429 and ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for dry or indoor environments
• 5/8-inch hex key size for use with standard wrenches or sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension replacement or new-installation fastener for assemblies requiring a 7/16-14 UNC partially threaded hex head cap screw per ASME B18.2.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician using a 5/8-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. De-energize or lock out any machinery before servicing fastened joints per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not use Grade 2 fasteners in applications requiring higher tensile strength grades such as Grade 5 or Grade 8 without verifying that the lower strength rating is acceptable for the load. Inspect threads on both the fastener and mating component for damage before installation.
