Value Collection 88546890 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546890 is a 7/16-14 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for secure, torque-resistant fastening in structural and mechanical assemblies. The screw measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head and is fully threaded along that length, allowing full thread engagement across the entire fastened joint. Drive is a 3/8-inch internal hex socket. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers solid strength-to-weight performance and moderate corrosion resistance in controlled environments. This package includes 3 screws. Typically installed by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors in equipment assembly and maintenance applications.

This screw is suited for general mechanical fastening in industrial, commercial, and light structural settings. The 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread profile is a standard inch-series thread, compatible with tapped holes or standard hex nuts of the same thread specification. Black oxide finish makes it common in indoor assemblies where mild corrosion resistance is acceptable. Applications include equipment mounting, machinery assembly, and component fastening where a recessed hex drive is preferred for torque control and a low-profile head is required.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread specification for broad hardware compatibility
• 1-1/4-inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 3/8-inch internal hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or socket drivers
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide coating offers mild corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Sold in a package of 3 screws

Compatibility

Designed to fit any 7/16-14 UNC tapped hole or standard hex nut meeting the same inch-series thread specification, consistent with ASME B18.3 hex socket cap screw standards for general mechanical fastening.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 3/8-inch hex key or matching socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or thread-locking compound per the assembly specification. Do not exceed the fastener's rated torque capacity, and inspect the screw and mating threads for damage before reuse.
