Value Collection -92390-3 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -92390-3 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener offers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern and 2-1/4 inch length under head make it a common choice in equipment assemblies, pipe supports, and structural connections across plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical trades. Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket drive, and the unified coarse thread engages reliably in tapped holes or with standard hex nuts and flat washers.

This hex head cap screw is suited for light to medium mechanical assemblies where corrosion resistance is a priority. Typical applications include equipment mounting, bracket fastening, and field repairs on HVAC units, pump housings, and plumbing fixtures. The partially threaded shank provides a bearing surface that resists lateral movement in close-tolerance holes, making it appropriate for structural and semi-structural connections in trade installations.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• Partially threaded shank allows for a clean bearing surface in bolted connections
• 7/16-14 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional consistency for close-tolerance applications
• 2-1/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening in brackets, flanges, and mounting plates

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with 7/16-14 UNC tapped holes, hex nuts, and flat washers used in general mechanical and trade fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for 7/16-14 fasteners. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloy is susceptible to galling; the use of an anti-seize compound is recommended when threading into stainless or aluminum. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque requirements based on joint design.
