Value Collection R68449121 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R68449121 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread with a 1-inch length under head, driven by a 3/8-inch hex (Allen) key. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, providing corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople use this screw where a recessed drive is required for flush or countersunk installation and where hex head access is limited.

This screw is appropriate for general-purpose fastening applications across HVAC equipment frames, plumbing fixtures, electrical enclosures, and light structural assemblies. The 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread provides reliable clamp load in ferrous and non-ferrous tapped holes. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a common choice for environments exposed to moisture, mild chemicals, or temperature cycling.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1 inch length under head for precise depth control in typical panel and bracket applications
• 3/8-inch hex socket drive allows use with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Cap screw head style provides a clean bearing surface and high clamping force

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7/16-14 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert machined to UNC coarse thread specifications at that size.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 3/8-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Verify that the mating tapped hole thread specification matches 7/16-14 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. Torque to the value specified in the applicable equipment service documentation or engineering specification. Always inspect threads for damage before reuse in critical assemblies.
