Value Collection 015267PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 015267PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening in demanding mechanical and structural applications. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw provides good corrosion resistance and a clean, consistent appearance. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern and 2-1/2 inch length under head make it well suited for through-hole and tapped-hole assemblies. Drive engagement is through a 5/16 inch hex socket. This screw is partially threaded, which helps resist shear loads and allows precise clamping force in metal-to-metal joints. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly install this type of fastener using a hex key or Allen driver.

This cap screw is commonly used in machine frames, tooling fixtures, equipment enclosures, and general industrial assemblies. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread is a standard size found across a wide range of fabricated steel components and OEM equipment. Its partial threading and alloy steel construction make it appropriate for moderate-to-high clamping force applications. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 2-1/2 inch length under head suits deeper through-hole and tapped-bore assemblies
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light glare in precision assemblies
• Partially threaded shank helps resist shear loads and improves clamping stability
• 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 tapped hole or assembly spec calling for an ASME/ANSI B18.3 or ASTM A574 compliant fastener of this thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated hex key or Allen driver sized to 5/16 inch. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean, free of debris, and dimensionally correct for 3/8-16 UNC thread engagement before driving. Apply thread lubricant or threadlocker as specified by the assembly drawing or equipment manufacturer. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastener replacement in live machinery per applicable safety procedures.
