Value Collection R68449162 Hex Socket Cap Screw 7/16-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R68449162 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications requiring a clean, flush-drive connection. It features a 7/16-14 UNC thread size and measures 1-1/4 inches in length under the head. The drive type is hex with a 3/8-inch drive size. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments. This fastener is commonly installed by machinists, millwrights, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians working on equipment assemblies, structural fixtures, and mechanical systems.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for general industrial, mechanical, and maintenance applications where a recessed hex drive is required. The 7/16-14 UNC thread pattern is a standard coarse-thread designation widely used in North American fabrication and equipment manufacturing. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where moisture exposure or mild chemical contact is a concern, including food-service equipment, marine hardware, and HVAC support structures.

Key Features

• 7/16-14 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 1-1/4 inch length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• 3/8-inch hex drive for precise, low-profile socket wrench engagement
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance
• Stainless steel material suitable for wet, outdoor, or chemical-adjacent environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for any assembly using 7/16-14 UNC threaded holes with a hex socket cap screw specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or machinist using an appropriately sized hex key or socket driver. Always verify thread engagement depth and torque requirements against the assembly drawing or equipment manufacturer specifications before installation. Avoid cross-threading by starting fasteners by hand before applying tool torque. Inspect mating threads for damage or debris prior to fastener installation.
