Value Collection C703172 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C703172 is a Grade 8 hex head cap screw with a 7/16-14 UNC thread and a 3-1/4 inch length under head. Partially threaded, this fastener is manufactured from Grade 8 steel in an uncoated finish, providing high tensile strength suited to demanding structural and mechanical assembly applications. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy and load-rated performance. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians use this screw where high-strength, inch-series fasteners are required in heavy equipment, machinery, and structural assemblies.

This fastener is appropriate for use in industrial maintenance, mechanical assembly, and structural bolted connections where Grade 8 strength class is specified. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads in close-tolerance joint configurations. It is suitable for use in fabrication shops, HVAC equipment mounting, equipment frames, and similar trade applications requiring a reliable, standards-compliant inch-series cap screw.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile and proof load ratings
• 7/16-14 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 3-1/4 inch length under head with partial threading to support shear-loaded joints
• Uncoated finish suitable for painted, plated, or bare assemblies
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 dimensional and material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock hex head cap screw for any application specifying a 7/16-14 UNC, Grade 8, partially threaded fastener per ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson familiar with fastener grade requirements and joint design. Always verify that the mating nut or tapped hole is rated for Grade 8 loading before assembly. Power down and de-energize any equipment before performing fastener replacement or maintenance work. Do not mix Grade 8 fasteners with lower-grade hardware in the same joint without engineering review.
