Value Collection 88548417 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 X 3 in Grade 5 13pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548417 is a 7/16-14 x 3-inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. The screw is partially threaded and conforms to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard with length measured under the head. The zinc coating provides baseline corrosion resistance for general-purpose fastening applications. This fastener is sold in a package quantity of 13 and is suitable for use by maintenance technicians, contractors, and trade professionals requiring a reliable, standardized inch-series hex cap screw.

This screw is commonly used in mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, structural connections, and general industrial or HVAC equipment fastening where a Grade 5 steel hex cap screw with a partially threaded shank is specified. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pitch is a widely used size in domestic trade applications. Partial threading allows for shank-to-shank clamping force between joined members, which is preferred in many bolted joint applications over fully threaded fasteners.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction for moderate-strength fastening requirements
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion protection in dry to mildly humid environments
• Partially threaded shank for improved clamping in bolted joint assemblies
• UNC thread standard (7/16-14) for broad compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 3-inch length under head accommodates thicker material stacks
• Package quantity of 13 minimizes per-unit cost for routine service and maintenance needs

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 7/16-14 UNC inch-series nuts and tapped holes in mechanical and structural fastening applications where a Grade 5 partially threaded hex cap screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 3/4-inch hex wrench or socket. Always confirm thread engagement and clamp load requirements for the specific joint design before torquing. Do not exceed the rated proof load for Grade 5 fasteners. Inspect threads on both the screw and mating nut or tapped hole for damage before installation.
