Value Collection R50000206 Carriage Bolt 7/16-14 Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R50000206 is a 7/16-14 carriage bolt designed for general fastening applications in construction, fabrication, and mechanical assemblies. It features a smooth, domed head and a square neck that bites into the material being fastened to prevent rotation during installation. The bolt is manufactured from Grade 5 steel and finished with a zinc plating that provides baseline corrosion resistance in dry to mildly humid environments. The length under head measures 1-1/4 inches. This bolt is a standard inch-series fastener appropriate for use by tradespeople, contractors, and maintenance professionals working with wood, metal, or composite substrates.

Carriage bolts in this size range are commonly used in wood-to-wood and wood-to-metal connections in residential and light commercial framing, equipment mounting, and general structural assembly. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-thread standard that pairs with standard hex nuts and flat or lock washers. The zinc-plated finish suits interior and sheltered exterior installations where moderate environmental exposure is expected.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for broad hardware compatibility
• Square neck design prevents bolt rotation without a secondary tool on the head
• Grade 5 steel construction provides medium-strength tensile and shear ratings
• Zinc-plated finish offers corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits standard light-to-medium fastening applications
• Inch-series measurement system for compatibility with standard North American hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series carriage bolt compatible with 7/16-14 UNC hex nuts, flat washers, and lock washers used in general construction and mechanical fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, ironworkers, or general contractors using a standard wrench or socket on the mating nut while the square neck seats into the substrate. The material being fastened should be pre-drilled to the appropriate clearance diameter to allow the square neck to seat flush without splitting. Always torque the nut to the fastener grade specification rather than driving by the head. Follow applicable building codes and structural connection requirements for load-bearing assemblies.
