Value Collection R57001151 Hex Head Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R57001151 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw sized 7/16-14 x 1-1/4 inches, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The 7/16-14 designation indicates a 7/16-inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch on a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. Full threading along the 1-1/4-inch shank length under the head allows maximum thread engagement across the full fastener length. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades reach for 18-8 stainless hardware when corrosion resistance is a priority and a non-magnetic or low-magnetic fastener is acceptable.

This cap screw is suited for light structural, equipment mounting, and panel assembly applications where moisture exposure or corrosive environments rule out carbon steel fasteners. Typical install scenarios include outdoor equipment supports, pool equipment enclosures, conduit strut systems, and mechanical room hardware subject to humidity. The bright uncoated finish keeps the stainless surface properties intact without added plating that could affect torque-tension relationships or introduce galvanic concerns with mating stainless hardware.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to rust, oxidation, and many chemicals
• Fully threaded shank allows maximum thread engagement along the full 1-1/4-inch length under head
• 7/16-14 UNC thread form is a widely stocked, standard inch-series coarse thread
• Bright uncoated finish retains native stainless surface — no plating to degrade or flake
• Hex drive head accepts standard 5/8-inch hex wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC inch-series hex head cap screw for general mechanical and structural fastening applications requiring 7/16-14 coarse thread hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is suitable for any trade technician performing general mechanical assembly. Always verify that the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 7/16-14 UNC thread specification before driving the fastener. When pairing with carbon steel nuts or hardware in wet environments, consider galvanic compatibility to avoid accelerated corrosion of the dissimilar metal. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize if the fastener may require future removal from a stainless mating surface, as stainless-on-stainless contact can gall under torque.
