It features partial threading and an Armor Coat finish for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. Built to ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards, this fastener is suited for high-strength bolting applications where precise torque loads and reliable clamping force are required. Mechanical and structural contractors, industrial maintenance technicians, and HVAC installers rely on Grade 8 hardware where standard fasteners are not adequate for the load or service conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap screw is appropriate for use in structural assemblies, equipment mounting, and mechanical connections that require high-tensile fasteners. The partial threading design provides a smooth shank section for shear loading applications and precision alignment. The Armor Coat finish adds a layer of protection against rust and chemical exposure, making it a practical choice for both indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor or semi-exposed installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 8 steel construction for high tensile and proof load strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePartial threading with smooth shank section supports shear load and alignment applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eArmor Coat finish provides corrosion and chemical resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 dimensional and mechanical standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with standard 3\/8-16 UNC inch-series hex nuts, locknuts, and tapped holes conforming to ASME and SAE specifications.

De-energize and lock out all equipment before replacing or installing fasteners in live assemblies. Use calibrated torque tools and consult applicable engineering specifications or equipment manufacturer guidelines for proper torque values. Do not mix Grade 8 fasteners with lower-grade nuts or washers, as mismatched hardware can reduce joint integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Grade 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Armor Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.2.1, SAE J429\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ARMOR COAT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: UST235772\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ARMOR COAT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67917068730674,"sku":"UST235772","price":1557.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/625cb35ff785d4d7eb939d2be13bca5f.jpg?v=1791261148","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/armor-coat-ust235772-hex-head-cap-screw-3-8-16-x-2-5-in-grade-8","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
