Value Collection 721232PR Flat Socket Cap Screw 7/16-20x2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 721232PR is a flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications in mechanical assemblies and structural joints. It features an 82-degree flat head profile and a 1/4-inch hex socket drive, allowing installation with a standard hex key or Allen wrench. The fastener is fully threaded along its 2-inch overall length with a 7/16-20 UNF thread form, making it suited for fine-pitch applications that require precise clamping force. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers solid mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance in protected environments. This screw is installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics.

This flat socket cap screw is used where a low-profile, flush-sitting fastener is required and access is limited to a single axis. Typical applications include machine tool fixtures, equipment housings, jigs, and fabricated steel assemblies. The 7/16-20 UNF thread size and fully threaded shank make it well suited for through-hole or threaded insert applications where maximum thread engagement is needed. The black oxide finish blends into ferrous assemblies and provides a degree of lubricity during installation. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head for flush or countersunk seating in mating surfaces
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive for installation with a standard Allen key or hex bit driver
• Fully threaded 2-inch overall length with 7/16-20 UNF thread form
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding mechanical applications
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fastener for any assembly requiring a 7/16-20 UNF fully threaded flat socket cap screw with an 82-degree head angle and 2-inch overall length per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Install using a correctly sized 1/4-inch hex key or socket bit driver; an undersized or worn key can strip the socket drive. Ensure the mating countersink is machined to match the 82-degree head angle before installation. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing fasteners on powered machinery, per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize as required by the assembly specification to achieve consistent clamp load.
