Value Collection MP30085 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 X 2.5 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30085 is a 7/16-14 hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. This partially threaded fastener measures 2.5 inches under the head and features a unified national coarse (UNC) thread form. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, it meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. This screw is intended for use by trade professionals, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors who require a reliable, specification-grade fastener for structural and equipment assembly work. Sold in a package of 10.

This fastener suits a wide range of commercial and residential mechanical applications including HVAC equipment mounting, electrical enclosure assembly, plumbing fixture installation, and general structural fastening. The partial thread design provides a smooth shank section under the head, which is beneficial for clamping applications where the shank bears shear load. Its Grade 5 rating makes it appropriate for medium-strength fastening tasks common in equipment installation and service.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread for broad tool and hardware compatibility
• 2.5 inches length under head with partial threading for shear-load clamping
• Grade 5 steel construction for medium-strength fastening requirements
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection in indoor and light-outdoor environments
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment
• Packaged in quantities of 10 to support job-site and service-van stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7/16-14 UNC hex head cap screw conforming to ASME B18.2.1, compatible with any application specifying a Grade 5 partially threaded fastener in this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard 3/4-inch hex wrench or socket driver. Torque to the fastener specification required by the equipment or structural assembly being serviced — do not exceed the rated clamp load for Grade 5 hardware in the joint material being used. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener replacement in load-bearing assemblies.
