Value Collection 592371PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592371PR is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications where corrosion resistance and precise torque transmission are required. Threaded 7/16-14 UNC with a 3/8-inch hex drive and a 3-inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) and left uncoated for a bright finish. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it appropriate for use in mechanical assemblies, structural connections, and industrial equipment where dimensional consistency and material traceability matter.

This cap screw is suited for general mechanical, industrial, and light structural applications across manufacturing, maintenance, and trade service environments. Its partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads, making it a good fit for applications where the fastener passes through a clearance hole before engaging a threaded bore. Machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener in equipment frames, flanges, enclosures, and machinery bases.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 3-inch length under head provides ample grip range for thicker stack-ups
• Partially threaded shank handles shear loads in clearance-hole applications
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and allows use with standard hardware
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 for dimensional and material compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-service fastener for any application requiring a 7/16-14 UNC partially threaded hex socket cap screw meeting ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install with a 3/8-inch hex key or Allen driver; ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. De-energize or lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners on live machinery per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Avoid mixing stainless fasteners with dissimilar metals in environments prone to galvanic activity. Apply an anti-seize compound appropriate for stainless steel to prevent galling during installation and future removal.
