Value Collection 708138MSC Flange Bolt 7/16-14 Unc 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 708138MSC is a smooth flange bolt engineered for high-strength fastening applications requiring a clean, non-serrated bearing surface. Manufactured from alloy steel rated at 170,000 PSI tensile strength and conforming to ASTM A574, this bolt delivers reliable clamping force in demanding mechanical and structural assemblies. The 7/16-14 UNC thread profile with a 1-1/8-inch threaded length provides secure engagement, while the partially threaded shank preserves shear strength along the unthreaded section. The 12-point drive allows high-torque installation with standard box-end or socket tooling. Finish is bright and uncoated, suitable for controlled environments or applications where a post-installation coating will be applied.

This flange bolt is suited for mechanical, industrial, and light structural assemblies where a smooth flange face is required to distribute clamping load evenly without marring the mating surface. Common applications include equipment fabrication, machinery assembly, and maintenance work across manufacturing, HVAC equipment frames, and general trade service. The smooth flange eliminates the need for a separate flat washer in many installations, reducing part count and assembly time. Licensed trades and industrial mechanics working on equipment frames, brackets, or mounting hardware will find this bolt appropriate for standard inch-measurement fastener applications.

Key Features

• Alloy steel construction rated to 170,000 PSI tensile strength per ASTM A574
• 7/16-14 UNC thread with 1-1/8 inches of thread engagement
• Partially threaded shank for improved shear resistance along the grip length
• Smooth flange face distributes load without marring mating surfaces
• 12-point drive accepts standard socket or box-end tooling for high-torque installation
• Bright uncoated finish - compatible with post-installation corrosion protection treatments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series smooth flange bolt for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, and fabricated structures requiring a 7/16-14 UNC fastener with a smooth flange bearing surface per ASTM A574.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanics or trades personnel using a 12-point, 7/16-inch socket or box-end wrench. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener service on powered assemblies. Do not mix thread standards - confirm mating nut or tapped hole is UNC before installation. Apply thread lubricant or torque to fastener manufacturer specifications for the assembly being serviced.
