Value Collection 011269P Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011269P is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength mechanical fastening in industrial, structural, and machinery applications. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread size with a body length of 2.75 inches under the head and is driven by a 5/16 inch hex socket. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, this fastener resists corrosion and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for demanding load-bearing assemblies. It weighs approximately 0.09 pounds per unit.

This screw is suited for use in general manufacturing, equipment assembly, tooling fixtures, and maintenance repair applications where a flush or recessed fastener head is required. The hex socket drive allows for high torque application in tight spaces where a standard wrench cannot reach. Partial threading along the shank provides a clamping zone between mated surfaces, which is preferred in precision joint applications. Installers working in fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and field service will find this a standard utility fastener across a wide range of metalworking contexts.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for standard inch-series fastening
• 2.75 inches length under head with partial threading for controlled clamping
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for high-torque installation in confined spaces
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical property requirements
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded socket head cap screw in alloy steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician using a calibrated hex key or socket driver sized to 5/16 inch. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the torque rating specified by the equipment manufacturer for the joint material and thread engagement depth. Use appropriate thread-locking compound or washers where vibration resistance is required per the assembly specification.
