Value Collection MPC703163 Hex Cap Screw 7/16-20 X 2 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MPC703163 is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw sized 7/16-20 x 2 inches, engineered for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. This screw features partial threading and a unified fine thread (UNF) pattern at 7/16-20, providing superior clamp load and vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread equivalents. Manufactured to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards, the uncoated finish is suitable for applications where coating buildup would affect thread fit or where the fastener will be plated or treated in the field. Installed by millwrights, mechanical contractors, and maintenance technicians wherever high-tensile fasteners are required.

This hex head cap screw is used across a broad range of industrial and trade applications including equipment mounting, machinery assembly, structural bracketing, and HVAC or mechanical system fabrication. The 7/16-20 UNF thread class and Grade 8 material rating make it a go-to choice for joints subject to dynamic loading, torque, or high preload requirements. Sold in a package quantity of 25 pieces per order, making it practical for service trucks, shop stock, or jobsite use where multiple fasteners of the same spec are needed.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile and proof load strength
• 7/16-20 UNF thread form for fine-pitch engagement and precise clamp control
• Partial threading per ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standard
• 2-inch length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• Uncoated finish suitable for field plating, painting, or bare-metal assemblies
• Package quantity of 25 pieces for efficient stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME B18.2.1 hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 7/16-20 UNF Grade 8 partially threaded fastener in inch measurement.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians using a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for the 7/16-inch hex head. Always verify the mating thread is 7/16-20 UNF and that the tapped hole or nut is rated for Grade 8 or equivalent load. De-energize and lock out any machinery before replacing fasteners on live equipment. Do not substitute Grade 8 fasteners with lower-grade hardware in high-stress joints.
