Dexter Hex Cap Screw 7/16-20 x 2.63 Inch, Grade 8, Zinc Plated, Short Thread, Part 007-380-00

This is a Grade 8 hex cap screw from Dexter, part number 007-380-00, sized 7/16-20 x 2.63 inches with a short thread length. It is built for trailer brake actuator hardware applications where a high-strength fastener is required to secure components under repeated load and vibration. The 7/16-20 designation indicates a 7/16 inch diameter fastener with 20 threads per inch (a fine thread pitch), and the 2.63 inch overall length with short thread run is sized specifically for actuator mounting hardware rather than general-purpose use. Grade 8 steel construction gives this screw a higher tensile strength rating than standard Grade 2 or Grade 5 hardware, making it suitable for structural and safety-critical fastening points such as brake actuator assemblies. The zinc plating provides a protective finish against corrosion and rust, which is important given the exposure to moisture, road spray, and general outdoor conditions trailers experience. The hex cap head allows the screw to be driven and torqued with a standard wrench or socket. This fastener is sold as a genuine Dexter part and is intended as a direct replacement or maintenance part for trailer brake actuator assemblies that use this size and grade of hardware.
