Value Collection MP33648-1 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP33648-1 is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications where a clean, recessed drive is required. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread and a 3/8-inch hex drive, accepting a standard hex key or Allen driver. The screw measures 1-1/2 inches in length under the head and is fully threaded from end to head. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid tensile strength and modest corrosion resistance in dry or lightly oiled environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and fabricators install this fastener across a wide range of mechanical assemblies.

This cap screw suits general industrial, mechanical, and structural fastening tasks where a socket drive is preferred over an external hex. Fully threaded construction makes it well suited for shorter clamping lengths and through-hole applications. It conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it an appropriate choice wherever those specifications are called out on engineering drawings or maintenance documentation. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Fully threaded at 1-1/2 inches under head for maximum thread engagement in short clamp lengths
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile and proof load strength
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex socket cap screw for use in any 7/16-14 UNC tapped hole requiring a socket drive fastener per ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 specifications.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 3/8-inch hex key or socket bit; do not substitute an undersized driver, as this can round the socket. Verify that the mating tapped hole is clean, properly formed to UNC standards, and free of debris before installation. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize as required by the application to achieve accurate torque-to-clamp-load results. Follow applicable engineering drawings or maintenance specifications for torque values, as none are provided with this part.
