Metallics JSHC7161 7/16-14 x 1 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - Each

Yes, if your hole is standard 7/16 UNC. The JSHC7161 is 7/16-14 with 14 threads per inch and a UN thread form, which is the coarse series for 7/16 diameter. It will not fit a 7/16-20 fine-thread hole.

The fastener length is 1 in. measured below the head, so your combined grip (bracket, washers, and thread engagement into the tapped part) has to fit inside that inch. The head height of 0.43 to 0.438 in. sits above the surface unless you counterbore for it. For thicker stack-ups you want a longer length in the same 7/16-14 SHC series.

The alloy steel socket head cap screw is rated at 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, with a hardness of Rockwell C39. The product data states it supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws, and it does it in a smaller head footprint because it's wrenched internally.

No. The JSHC7161 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this part will not satisfy it.

It's an internally wrenched socket head with a hex drive, so you drive it with a hex key, not a wrench on the outside of the head. The socket depth is 0.213 in. and the head measures 0.642 to 0.656 in. across with a head height of 0.43 to 0.438 in. Because the tool goes inside the head, you need far less clearance around the fastener than a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head screw of the same size.

Keep them dry. The material is alloy steel with a black finish, which is a plain thermal-black type coating, not a corrosion barrier like hot-dip galvanizing or stainless. For exterior, damp vault, or wash-down duty, specify a galvanized or stainless fastener instead. Indoors on electrical, plumbing, and HVAC equipment is what the data lists as the field application.

They ship in a jar, with an order minimum of 100 per jar. That's the buying unit, so a single screw is not an orderable quantity on this item.

Treat it as a high-strength fastener, not a mild steel screw. At Rockwell C39 and 180,000 psi minimum tensile with 162,000 psi minimum yield, the material is hard and has limited ductility, with elongation of 10 percent minimum and reduction of area of 33 percent minimum on machined specimens. It holds load well in tension but it is not a fastener to bend, shim with, or run in with an impact gun at full setting.

Yes. The Metallics SHC series of socket head cap screws is offered in other diameters, lengths, and pack quantities by request beyond the 7/16-14 x 1 in. JSHC7161 configuration.
