7/16-14 x 1/2 in. Socket Head Hex Cap Screws - Alloy Steel Black - 100qty
Additional Notes
- Other sizes and quantities available by request | Cap screws of a length 3D or greater, where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw, are subject to tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and reduction of area testing.
Features
- Supplies greater tensile strength than equivalent sizes of Grade-5 or Grade-8 hex head cap screws while requiring less surface area or counterbore since the fastener is intenally wrenched.
- Elongation is 10% minimum (applies to machined specimens of lenglh at least 4D where D equals the nominal diameter of the screw) and Reduction of Area is 33% minimum (applies to machined specimens)
- 7/16-14 Diameter, 1/2" Length
- Socket head with Hex Drive
- Alloy Steel Black Material

Metallics JSHC71612 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How strong is a 7/16-14 socket head cap screw compared to a Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex bolt?
The Metallics JSHC71612 socket head cap screw is rated 180,000 psi minimum tensile and 162,000 psi minimum yield, which is higher than Grade 5 or Grade 8 hex head cap screws of the same size. It also needs less surface area or counterbore than a hex head, because the screw is wrenched internally rather than across the flats.
2) What thread does the JSHC71612 cap screw have, and will it go into a 7/16-14 tapped hole?
Threading is 7/16-14 UN, 14 threads per inch, so it mates with any standard 7/16-14 UNC tapped hole or nut. Overall length is 1/2 inch, which is short, so the tapped depth available in your part needs to be shallow enough that the screw still clamps rather than bottoming out.
3) Do these cap screws qualify for a Buy American or ARRA funded job?
No. The 7/16-14 x 1/2 in. Metallics socket head cap screw is not Buy American compliant and not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) What standard do these Metallics socket head cap screws conform to?
Dimensions follow ASME B18.3-2012, the standard for socket cap screws, so head and socket geometry interchanges with any other B18.3 screw of the same size. Hardness is Rockwell C39.
5) Will a black alloy steel cap screw hold up outdoors or in a damp location?
The JSHC71612 is alloy steel with a plain black finish, which is an indoor or dry-location fastener. Black oxide style finishes offer little corrosion protection on their own, so for wet, exterior, or washdown service choose a plated or stainless cap screw instead of this one.
6) Can I buy just a few of the JSHC71612 cap screws, or do I have to take a full jar?
Order minimum is 100 count, supplied in a jar, so the 7/16-14 x 1/2 in. socket head cap screw sells by the 100-piece jar rather than loose pieces. Other sizes and quantities can be arranged by request.
7) What tool drives these socket head hex cap screws?
Drive is an internal hex socket in a socket-style head, so it takes a hex key or a hex bit socket, not a wrench on the outside of the head. That internal drive is why the screw works in tight counterbores where a hex head would need clearance for a wrench.
