Metallics JSHC7162SS316 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size and thread is the Metallics JSHC7162SS316 socket head cap screw?
It's a 7/16-14 x 2 inch socket head cap screw. That's a 7/16 inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch (UNC coarse) and a 2 inch length under the head. You'll drive it with a hex key, not a screwdriver.
2) Is the Metallics JSHC7162SS316 cap screw stainless, and what grade?
316 stainless steel. That's the marine/chemical grade with molybdenum added, so it holds up better than 304 against chlorides, salt spray, and wash-down chemicals. For coastal exteriors, water treatment, food plants, or pool rooms, 316 is the one to spec.
3) Will a 7/16-14 socket head cap screw thread into a standard 7/16 inch coarse tapped hole or nut?
Yes. The 7/16-14 designation is standard UNC coarse thread, so it mates with any 7/16-14 nut, coupling, or tapped hole. For corrosion work, pair it with 316 stainless nuts and washers rather than plain steel, or you'll set up galvanic corrosion at the joint.
4) How many screws come in a jar of Metallics JSHC7162SS316?
Fifty screws per jar. Metallics packs this one in a jar rather than a box, which is what you want on a service truck or a shop bench where the fasteners get picked by hand.
5) What's the right part number to order 7/16-14 x 2 inch 316 stainless socket head cap screws from Metallics?
Order Metallics MPN JSHC7162SS316. The number reads straight through: JSHC for jar-packed socket head cap screw, 7162 for 7/16-14 x 2, SS316 for the 316 stainless material.
6) Why use a socket head cap screw instead of a hex bolt here?
The socket head takes a hex key in a counterbored or recessed hole, so the head can sit flush or sub-flush where a hex bolt head would foul a moving part or a panel. You also get full tool engagement in tight quarters where a wrench won't swing. If you have open clearance and want to torque with a socket, a hex head is the simpler choice.
