Value Collection 014132PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 014132PS is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength. Threaded at 3/8-16 UNC and measuring 1-3/4 inches under the head, this fastener accepts a 5/16-inch hex drive for installation with an Allen key or hex bit driver. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it offers strong resistance to oxidation, chlorides, and moisture exposure. This screw is well suited for mechanical assemblies, structural brackets, and equipment enclosures in environments where carbon steel fasteners would corrode prematurely.

This fastener is appropriate for light industrial, commercial, and trade applications where a socket head profile is required to seat below or flush with a surface. Grade 316 stainless steel makes it a reliable choice for wet environments, coastal installations, pool equipment surrounds, and HVAC component mounting where condensation or chemical exposure is a factor. A licensed mechanic, plumber, electrician, or general contractor would typically install this screw during equipment assembly or field fabrication work.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad fastener compatibility across standard inch-series hardware
• 1-3/4-inch length under head provides adequate grip in typical bracket and panel applications
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive allows high torque with an Allen key or hex bit
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• Bright uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or contaminate the joint

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-series coarse-thread fastener with a hex socket head and a 1-3/4-inch under-head length.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/16-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable torque guidelines for 3/8-16 Grade 316 stainless fasteners as specified by your assembly drawings or relevant code authority.
