Value Collection 92392 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92392 is a 7/16-14 hex head cap screw measuring 4-1/2 inches under the head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with no surface coating applied. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth grip section beneath the head, which is useful in clamping applications where thread engagement is needed only at the fastener end. The UNC thread form is the standard inch-series coarse thread pitch. Installers across mechanical, plumbing, HVAC equipment mounting, and general trade fabrication work use this fastener wherever corrosion resistance and moderate tensile strength are required without the cost of higher alloy grades.

This fastener is suited for indoor and outdoor installations where mild corrosive exposure is a factor, including equipment frames, pipe supports, access panel hardware, and structural bracketing in light commercial and residential mechanical rooms. The 18-8 stainless composition offers good resistance to moisture, cleaning agents, and atmospheric corrosion. The uncoated finish means no additional preparation is needed before installation, and the standard hex drive accepts common hex socket or open-end wrenches found in any trade toolbox.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread provides reliable engagement in standard inch-tapped holes
• 4-1/2 inches length under head accommodates thicker stack-ups and spacer assemblies
• Partially threaded shank allows smooth-shank clamping between fastener head and threaded zone
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists moisture and mild corrosive environments
• Uncoated finish requires no additional prep and maintains consistent dimensional tolerances
• Standard hex head drives with 3/4-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any 7/16-14 tapped hole or matching nut in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical enclosure assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/4-inch hex wrench, socket, or open-end tool. De-energize and lock out all equipment before fastening hardware near electrical or mechanical assemblies per applicable OSHA and NEC lockout-tagout requirements. Do not use impact tools at full torque on stainless fasteners, as galling can occur on 18-8 alloys — apply a suitable anti-seize compound to the threads before installation to reduce this risk. Verify thread engagement depth meets the requirements of the assembly before final torque.
