Value Collection MP30082 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 Grade 5 Zinc

Product Description

The Value Collection MP30082 is a Grade 5 steel hex head cap screw with a 7/16-14 UNC thread and a 1-3/4 inch length under head. It features a zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance and is partially threaded along the shank. Manufactured to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards, this fastener delivers consistent tensile and proof load performance expected of Grade 5 hardware. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 and is suitable for general mechanical assembly, equipment maintenance, and structural connections across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade applications.

This screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial mechanical installations where a medium-strength fastener is required. Common applications include securing equipment housings, mounting brackets, access panels, and structural support members. The partial threading allows for clamping across unthreaded material without thread engagement in the grip zone, which is useful in bolted joint assemblies where a smooth shank section is needed for alignment or shear loads.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard inch-system nuts and tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head with partial threading for bolted joint clamping applications
• Grade 5 steel construction meets SAE J429 tensile and proof load requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in dry or mildly humid environments
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex head cap screws
• Packaged in quantities of 25, minimizing handling for multi-fastener jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with 7/16-14 UNC nuts, washers, and tapped holes in general mechanical and trade assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench, socket, or open-end wrench sized for a 7/16-14 hex head cap screw. Power down or de-energize any equipment before performing fastener work on live mechanical or electrical assemblies. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for the specific joint material and bolt grade. Do not use zinc-plated fasteners in continuously wet or chemically aggressive environments where stainless or hot-dip galvanized hardware would be more appropriate.
