Value Collection 88546882 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546882 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in demanding applications. With a 7/16-14 UNC thread size and 1 inch length under head, this fully threaded fastener delivers full thread engagement throughout its grip length. The 3/8 inch hex drive socket head allows high-torque installation using a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish coating, it provides improved corrosion resistance and reduced galling compared to bare steel. Maintenance technicians, fabricators, and trade professionals use this screw where a low-profile socket head and strong clamping force are required.

This screw is suited for general mechanical assembly, equipment repair, and structural fastening across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and industrial applications. The 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread pattern is the standard choice for most ferrous and non-ferrous base materials in North American equipment. The black oxide finish is appropriate for indoor and moderate-exposure environments. Each package contains 3 screws, making it practical for small repairs or single-unit replacements where purchasing a full box is unnecessary.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread provides strong thread engagement in common base materials
• Fully threaded body maximizes clamping force across the entire 1 inch length under head
• 3/8 inch hex drive socket head allows high-torque installation with standard hex tooling
• Alloy steel construction offers greater tensile strength than standard carbon steel fasteners
• Black oxide finish coating reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection
• Sold in a 3-screw package, suitable for maintenance, repair, and small assembly tasks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7/16-14 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring this thread size and a 1 inch length under head with a 3/8 inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/8 inch hex key or hex bit driver rated for the fastener grade. Ensure the mating thread is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize all equipment and relieve system pressure before replacing fasteners in live mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque specifications and relevant codes for the trade discipline in which this fastener is used.
