Value Collection 015269PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 015269PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength mechanical fastening in industrial, commercial, and trade applications. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance and a clean, low-reflectance appearance. The 3/8-16 UNC thread and 2.75-inch length under head make it suitable for medium-duty structural and machine assembly work. Drive is a 5/16-inch hex socket, compatible with standard hex keys and socket drive tools. The partial threading allows for clamping force without thread engagement across the full length of the fastener body.

This screw is used in mechanical assemblies, machine frames, fixtures, brackets, and general structural fastening where a recessed drive and high tensile strength are required. Partial threading is typical for through-bolt clamping applications where the unthreaded shank spans the joint material. Suitable for use in manufacturing, maintenance, and repair operations across HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, plumbing support structures, and general metalwork assemblies. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, and IFI 124 standards.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• 2.75-inch length under head provides adequate reach for medium-depth assemblies
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and Allen-type drivers
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection
• Partially threaded shank allows clamping force across non-threaded joint material
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, and IFI 124 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any tapped or through-hole application requiring ASME/ANSI B18.3 compliant fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading to avoid cross-threading or galling. Apply thread lubricant or anti-seize compound where service conditions involve elevated temperatures or dissimilar metals. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards when tightening alloy steel fasteners.
