Value Collection 014126PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014126PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. Machined from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a 5/16-inch hex drive socket. The 1/2-inch length under head suits shallow-depth fastening in metal, plastic, or composite assemblies. It is installed using a standard hex key or Allen driver and is well suited for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and industrial maintenance work where stainless hardware is specified.

This socket cap screw is used in a wide range of trade and industrial applications where a low-profile, high-strength fastener is required. Common install scenarios include equipment brackets, access panels, pump housings, pipe supports, and electrical enclosures. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for wet or corrosive environments such as pool equipment rooms, marine-adjacent installations, and chemical exposure settings. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in commercial and light industrial facilities will find this screw compatible with standard socket drive tooling.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad fastener compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and allows inspection of thread condition
• 1/2-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped hole or assembly calling for this thread size and drive type in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16-inch hex key or socket hex bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the fastener. Do not exceed the torque rating of the mating material, particularly when threading into aluminum, plastic, or thin-wall components. Always de-energize equipment and relieve system pressure before replacing fasteners on pressurized assemblies.
