Value Collection KP44063 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 Grade 8 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP44063 is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening in demanding mechanical and structural applications. Sized at 7/16-14 UNC with a 2-1/4 inch length under head and a partially threaded shank, this fastener delivers the clamping force required where full-thread engagement to the joint face is not needed. The zinc-plated finish provides baseline corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments. Supplied in a package of 50, this screw meets ASTM A354 BD requirements, confirming minimum tensile and proof-load properties suitable for critical bolted connections.

This cap screw is appropriate for general mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, structural steel connections, and maintenance repairs across industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade work. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-thread size found in fabricated steel assemblies, brackets, equipment frames, and machinery bases. The partial threading makes it well suited for bolted joints where the unthreaded shank must span a clearance hole or provide shear resistance through the joint interface.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction meets ASTM A354 BD for high-strength, high-load fastening
• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for reliable engagement in steel and iron tapped holes
• Partially threaded shank suitable for clearance-hole or shear-loaded joints
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments
• 2-1/4 inch length under head accommodates moderate stack-up thickness
• Sold in a 50-piece package for stocking and service work

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 7/16-14 threaded fastener with Grade 8 strength rating and ASTM A354 BD compliance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanics, millwrights, pipefitters, or field technicians using a standard hex wrench or impact driver with the appropriate socket. Always verify that the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 7/16-14 UNC thread specification before installation. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable structural code for Grade 8 fasteners at this diameter. Do not reuse fasteners that have been overtorqued, stretched, or show visible thread damage.
