Value Collection 011247P Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011247P is a 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in industrial, mechanical, and trade assembly work. Made from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers strong corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection in finished assemblies. The screw features a 5/16-inch hex drive socket and measures 1/2 inch under the head. It is fully threaded along its length, making it well suited for through-hole and short-depth tapped applications. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this style of fastener.

This cap screw is used across a wide range of applications including machine frames, brackets, equipment enclosures, and structural assemblies where a recessed drive profile is preferred. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread pattern offers reliable engagement in steel and aluminum tapped holes. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion protection suitable for indoor and low-moisture environments. This fastener is commonly specified in maintenance, repair, and original equipment manufacturing contexts.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use hex socket cap screw for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded fastener with a 5/16-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply thread locker or anti-seize compound as required by the application. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer specifications for torque requirements based on fastener grade and joint material.
