Value Collection D30092 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION D30092 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening in structural and equipment assembly applications. Built to Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread and a 4.5-inch length under head, providing solid clamping force in bolted joints where partial threading is required to bear shear loads across an unthreaded shank. The zinc plating offers baseline corrosion resistance in mild environments. Mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, and HVAC installers commonly use Grade 5 cap screws for equipment mounting, bracket fabrication, and structural connections.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving steel-to-steel connections, equipment bases, structural brackets, and general mechanical assemblies. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pitch is a standard inch-series coarse thread used widely in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support structures, electrical enclosure assembly, and similar trade work. The partially threaded shank makes it appropriate for through-bolt applications where thread engagement is needed only at the nut end.

Key Features

• Grade 5 steel construction for reliable tensile strength in standard fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments
• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• Partially threaded shank allows clean shear load transfer across the bolt body
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex head cap screws
• 4.5-inch length under head accommodates thicker stackups and bracketed assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 7/16-14 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers in inch-series fastener applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical assembly work.

Installation Notes

Install with a standard 5/8-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Ensure mating threads and bearing surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly. Follow applicable torque guidelines for Grade 5 fasteners as specified by the equipment manufacturer or relevant code. Do not overtighten, as this can yield the fastener or damage softer mating materials.
