Value Collection 4332CH188 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14 X 2in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4332CH188 is a hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications where corrosion resistance is required. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener features a 7/16-14 UNC thread size and measures 2 inches in length under the head. The screw is partially threaded, making it suited for applications requiring a bearing surface or grip length in the unthreaded shank. It is installed using a standard hex wrench or socket and is appropriate for use by maintenance technicians, millwrights, plumbers, and general mechanical trades.

This fastener is commonly used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies, HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, and general structural or panel fastening where stainless steel is specified for its corrosion resistance. The UNC thread form is the standard inch-series thread used across North American equipment and machinery. Partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to act as a shoulder or alignment feature in mating components.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Partially threaded shank allows clamping with a grip length and functions as a shoulder in close-tolerance assemblies
• 7/16-14 UNC thread is a standard inch-series coarse thread for wide compatibility with nuts and tapped holes
• Bright uncoated finish maintains natural stainless appearance with no coating to chip or flake
• Hex head drive accepts standard sockets and wrenches for high-torque installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series hex head cap screw for use with any 7/16-14 tapped hole or matching hex nut in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or general industrial assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriately sized hex socket or open-end wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. When used in stainless-to-stainless applications, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling during torquing. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer specifications and relevant mechanical codes for fastener torque requirements.
