Value Collection 015253PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 015253PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical assemblies, machine components, and structural connections. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread size, a 7/8-inch length under the head, and a 5/16-inch hex drive. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw provides corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. The fully threaded shank allows consistent clamping force across the entire engaged length. This fastener is commonly installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and industrial assembly technicians.

This socket cap screw suits a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications including equipment assembly, fixture mounting, and machine maintenance. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread is a standard size found across manufacturing, HVAC equipment frames, pump housings, and general fabrication. The compact hex socket drive allows access in confined spaces where a standard hex head wrench cannot fit. The black oxide coating reduces surface corrosion in moderate-exposure environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 7/8-inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive allows installation with a standard Allen key or hex bit driver
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, and IFI 124 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a fastener conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, or IFI 124 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Verify that the mating tapped hole is clean, properly sized for 3/8-16 UNC thread, and free of debris before installation. Apply thread-locking compound if vibration is expected in the application. Always follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when determining final seating force.
