Value Collection KP44072 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 X 5 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP44072 is a 7/16-14 x 5-inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc-plated finish. Grade 8 is a high-strength fastener classification suitable for demanding structural and mechanical applications. The screw features partial threading along the shank and conforms to ASTM A354 BD, the standard specification for quenched and tempered alloy and boron steel hex bolts and studs. This fastener is installed by maintenance mechanics, millwrights, HVAC equipment technicians, plumbers, and electricians wherever a high-strength, corrosion-resistant hex bolt is required.

This cap screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, structural connections, and trade-service applications across residential and light commercial settings. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern is a common inch-series coarse thread used in steel-to-steel connections on HVAC equipment frames, pipe supports, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. Sold in packages of 25 per the supplier data.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction meets high-strength fastener requirements for structural and mechanical use
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in typical indoor and light-duty environments
• Partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads across joint interfaces
• ASTM A354 BD certification confirms quenched and tempered heat treatment and mechanical property standards
• 7/16-14 UNC thread is a widely stocked, inch-series coarse thread for easy field sourcing of compatible nuts and tapped holes
• Package quantity of 25 supports job-lot purchasing for service vehicles and shop stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 7/16-14 UNC partially threaded fastener with Grade 8 strength and zinc-plated finish.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a standard 11/16-inch hex wrench or socket. Verify that the mating nut or tapped hole is rated for Grade 8 load requirements before torquing. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before performing fastener work on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications when tightening structural fasteners.
