Value Collection 015295PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 015295PR is a hex socket cap screw engineered for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical assemblies, industrial equipment, and structural connections. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread — a fine-pitch, unified national thread that provides precise clamping force and resistance to vibration loosening. The 5/16-inch internal hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen-type driver. The fastener is machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, which reduces surface corrosion and minimizes light reflection in precision assemblies. Installers working in HVAC mechanical rooms, plumbing equipment racks, or electrical enclosure fabrication will find this screw appropriate for close-tolerance metal-to-metal joints.

This screw is used wherever a fine-thread socket cap screw is required for controlled-torque fastening into tapped alloy steel, stainless, or aluminum components. The 1-1/2-inch length under head suits moderate material stack depths, and full threading along that length maximizes thread engagement across the entire grip range. Typical applications include securing compressor mounting brackets, motor mounts, valve bodies, and other mechanical assemblies in commercial and residential trade environments. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine-pitch thread for precise torque control and vibration resistance
• Fully threaded 1-1/2-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 5/16-inch internal hex drive compatible with standard hex keys and Allen drivers
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 and ASME/ANSI B18.3 standards
• Black oxide finish reduces surface oxidation and light reflectance
• Meets IFI 124 fastener specification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw suitable for tapped-hole applications in alloy steel, aluminum, and compatible metal assemblies requiring a 3/8-24 UNF fine-thread fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; use a calibrated torque wrench where fastener torque is specified by equipment manufacturer documentation. Ensure the tapped receiving hole is clean, free of debris, and matches the 3/8-24 UNF thread specification before installation. De-energize or shut down any mechanical or electrical equipment fully before accessing fastener locations in live assemblies. Do not substitute this fine-thread fastener in applications that specify a coarse UNC thread without verifying thread compatibility.
