Value Collection 88546924 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546924 is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in structural and equipment assemblies. Sized at 7/16-14 UNC with a 2-inch length under head, it accepts a 3/8-inch hex drive for installation with a standard hex key or Allen driver. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance and high tensile strength for demanding service environments. It suits applications where a flush, low-profile cap head is required alongside reliable clamping force. The black oxide coating also reduces light reflection, which is useful in machinery and enclosure work.

This cap screw is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, pump housings, compressor mounts, and general mechanical assemblies. Partial threading provides better grip and clamping action in through-bolt applications. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern is a common coarse-thread standard found across a wide range of trade equipment. Technicians in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical contracting will find this size regularly needed for panel fastening, bracket mounting, and equipment service work. Sold in a package of 3.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse-thread pattern for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head suits medium-depth through-bolt and tapped assemblies
• Partially threaded shank provides positive clamping force in structural fastening
• Alloy steel construction delivers high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and low-glare surface
• 3/8-inch hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and bit-driver sets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7/16-14 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring this coarse-thread size with a 2-inch length under head and 3/8-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated torque wrench or hex key appropriate for the 3/8-inch drive size to avoid over-torquing and thread damage. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. De-energize and isolate any equipment before accessing fastener locations inside electrical or mechanical enclosures. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant codes such as ANSI or ASME fastener standards for the specific assembly.
