Value Collection CAI204305000-025BX Carriage Bolt 7/16-14 5in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CAI204305000-025BX is a 7/16-14 UNC carriage bolt with a 5-inch length under the head and a square neck design. Made from Grade 2 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener meets ASTM A307 standards for general-purpose structural and mechanical applications. The square neck seats flush below the head and locks into pre-drilled holes to prevent rotation during installation, eliminating the need for a wrench on the bolt side. Licensed trades and general contractors rely on this hardware for wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal connections across a wide range of construction and maintenance tasks.

This carriage bolt is suited for residential and light commercial construction, including framing, decking, fencing, and equipment mounting. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern is a widely used inch-series coarse thread, compatible with standard hex nuts and washers of the same thread specification. The zinc-plated finish provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance appropriate for interior and protected exterior environments. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 25 per box.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC carriage bolt for use with 7/16-14 hex nuts and flat washers in wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand trades and general contractors using standard wrenches or sockets on the mating nut. Insert the bolt through the pre-drilled hole so the square neck seats fully into the material before applying the nut and washer. Do not use impact tools at high torque without confirming the square neck is fully seated, as spinning under load can damage the material. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and loading requirements in structural assemblies.
