Value Collection 011255P Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011255P is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical assembly, maintenance, and fabrication work. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC with a 1-inch length under head and fully threaded shank, this fastener delivers consistent clamping force across the full grip length. The alloy steel construction and black oxide finish provide corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial environments. A 5/16-inch hex drive allows precise torque application using standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers. Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for structural and mechanical fastening where rated performance is required.

This cap screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, machinery maintenance, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general metalwork. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American equipment, making this fastener a practical stock item for service vans, shop benches, and maintenance carts. It is well suited for assembling steel components where a recessed drive is preferred over hex head fasteners.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum grip engagement across the full 1-inch length under head
• Alloy steel construction rated to ASTM A574 for high tensile and proof load strength
• Black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection in finished assemblies
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen wrenches and hex bit drivers
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards for interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded fastener in alloy steel with a black oxide finish.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5/16-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Apply thread lubricant or thread-locking compound as required by the assembly specification. Do not exceed the rated torque range for the 3/8-16 thread class to avoid stripping or fastener failure.
