Value Collection 015247PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 015247PR is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in structural and industrial assemblies. With a 3/8-16 UNC thread size and a 1/2-inch length under head, this screw accepts a 5/16-inch hex drive for precise torque application. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it delivers enhanced corrosion resistance and a low-reflectance finish suited to demanding service environments. Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, and IFI 124 standards, making it appropriate for critical fastening applications where material and dimensional traceability matter.

This socket cap screw is used across a wide range of mechanical, industrial, and trade installations including HVAC equipment assembly, electrical enclosure hardware, pump and motor mounting, and general fabrication work. Its compact head profile and internal hex drive make it well suited to recessed or tight-clearance fastening locations where a wrench cannot access the fastener head. Installers working in light manufacturing, mechanical contracting, and equipment service will find this screw appropriate for close-tolerance applications.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded along the 1/2-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction rated to ASTM A574 for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces surface glare
• Conforms to ASME/ANSI B18.3 and IFI 124 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or nut conforming to 3/8-16 UNC thread specifications per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical contractors, millwrights, or equipment technicians 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. Do not exceed the torque rating appropriate for the grade and material of the mating component. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize only where specified by the equipment manufacturer.
