Value Collection 015293PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 015293PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, machinery, and structural components. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread size with a 1-1/4 inch length under the head and is fully threaded from head to tip. The 5/16 inch hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers improved corrosion resistance over bare steel while maintaining tight dimensional tolerances. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, mechanical, and general maintenance technicians install this type of fastener in equipment frames, brackets, valve assemblies, and panel hardware.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial maintenance and repair work where a fine-thread, high-strength fastener is required. The 3/8-24 UNF thread pitch provides greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread equivalents, making it a reliable choice in tapped metal assemblies, precision equipment housings, and load-bearing brackets. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, and IFI 124 standards, confirming dimensional and mechanical compliance for professional applications.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for increased thread engagement in metal assemblies
• Fully threaded from bearing surface to tip for maximum fastening flexibility
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3, ASTM A574, and IFI 124 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or stock fastener for mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and general industrial equipment requiring a 3/8-24 UNF hex socket cap screw with a 1-1/4 inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized 5/16 inch hex key or Allen wrench. Ensure the receiving threads are clean and undamaged before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations in electrical or mechanical enclosures. Follow applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for 3/8-24 alloy steel fasteners when specified in service documentation.
