Value Collection CAI504301000-100BX Carriage Bolt 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION CAI504301000-100BX is a 7/16-14 UNC carriage bolt with a 1-inch length under head and a square neck designed to resist rotation during installation. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers reliable clamping strength and corrosion resistance in standard structural and mechanical assembly applications. The square neck seats into a mating hole to prevent spinning as the nut is tightened, eliminating the need for a wrench on the bolt head. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, this bolt suits contractors, maintenance technicians, and tradespeople who need consistent, specification-grade hardware in bulk.

This carriage bolt is suited for wood-to-wood, wood-to-metal, and light structural connections in residential and commercial construction, HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure assembly, and general mechanical fabrication. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance appropriate for interior and protected exterior environments. The 7/16-14 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread size compatible with standard hex nuts, lock nuts, and washers of the same designation. Installation is performed with standard hand tools and does not require specialized equipment.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for broad hardware compatibility
• 1-inch length under head for precise joint clamping
• Square neck resists rotation during nut tightening without a secondary tool on the bolt head
• Grade 5 steel construction for reliable tensile and shear strength in standard-duty applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in dry and protected environments
• Sold in multiples of 100 for volume installation and stocking needs

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 7/16-14 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, and lock nuts. Suitable for general structural fastening applications in construction, mechanical assembly, and equipment mounting where a square-neck carriage bolt profile is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, electricians, plumbers, or general maintenance technicians depending on the application. Drill a clean hole sized to allow the square neck to seat flush and grip without slipping before applying torque to the nut. Do not apply force to the bolt head during tightening; the square neck is designed to lock in place while the nut is driven from the opposite side. Follow applicable building codes and fastener specifications for the connected materials and load conditions.
