Value Collection 011282PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 011282PS is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications across industrial, mechanical, and structural assemblies. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC with a 6-inch length under the head, this fastener is partially threaded and driven by a 5/16-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it delivers corrosion resistance and a clean, low-reflectance finish suited to both functional and controlled-environment applications. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, confirming compliance with widely accepted dimensional and mechanical property specifications for socket cap screws.

This fastener is used in applications requiring a recessed-drive, high-tensile fastener where a standard hex head bolt is not practical. Common install scenarios include machinery frames, tooling fixtures, hydraulic component mounting, and general industrial assembly. The partial threading allows for precise clamping load distribution across the grip length, which is advantageous in bolted joint designs where shank engagement matters. Installers working in HVAC equipment assembly, pump mounting, electrical enclosures, and mechanical fabrication will recognize this as a standard socket cap configuration.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard unified coarse-thread tapped holes
• 6-inch length under head with partial threading for controlled grip length
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile and yield strength
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduced surface reflectivity
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards for dimensional and mechanical compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-pattern replacement or new-installation socket cap screw for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded fastener with a 5/16-inch hex drive and 6-inch grip length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean, properly formed to UNC specification, and free of debris before driving. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live assemblies. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize as required by the joint specification; do not exceed the fastener's rated torque as defined by ASTM A574 mechanical property tables for the applicable fastener grade.
