Value Collection MP39085 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-14 X 2.5 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP39085 is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw in the 7/16-14 UNC thread size with a 2.5-inch length under head. It features a zinc yellow dichromate finish that provides corrosion resistance and a partial threading configuration compliant with ASME B18.2.1. This fastener is sold in a package of 10 and is suited for high-strength structural and mechanical assembly applications where a standard hex drive and reliable clamping force are required. Grade 8 classification indicates a tensile strength higher than Grades 2 and 5, making it appropriate for demanding bolted joint conditions.

This cap screw is used in a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and construction assembly tasks. Typical applications include equipment mounting, structural steel connections, machinery frames, and heavy-duty bracket installations. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern is a standard coarse-thread designation common across North American fastener inventories. The partial threading configuration is standard for longer fasteners of this type, leaving an unthreaded shank section below the head for shear-load bearing in bolted joints.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile and proof-load strength
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish for corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Partially threaded shank supports shear-load applications
• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards
• Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with 7/16-14 UNC nuts, washers, and tapped holes per ASME B18.2.1 specifications in structural and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, or construction tradespeople using a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for 7/16-14 hardware. Always verify thread engagement depth and joint design before torquing. Use appropriate flat washers and lock washers as required by the joint specification. Do not mix Grade 8 fasteners with lower-grade nuts or tapped holes that do not meet the corresponding strength requirements.
