Value Collection 019247PR Low Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 019247PR is a low socket cap screw designed for applications where clearance above the fastener head is limited. Machined from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw uses a 3/16-inch hex socket drive and follows the ASME/ANSI B18.8 fastener standard. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is fully threaded along its 1/2-inch length, measured under the head. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection. Mechanical and maintenance technicians reach for this style when a standard socket cap head is too tall for the joint geometry.

Low socket cap screws of this size are commonly used in machine assemblies, fixtures, tooling plates, and equipment enclosures where a recessed or flush-profile fastener is required. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pitch is a standard coarse-thread size found across a wide range of industrial and trade applications. This screw is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it suitable for shop-stock replenishment or production use.

Key Features

• Low socket cap head profile for tight-clearance installations
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive per ASME/ANSI B18.8
• Fully threaded 3/8-16 UNC coarse-thread shank
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength
• Black oxide finish for mild corrosion resistance and reduced reflectivity
• 1/2-inch length measured under the head

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or shop-stock fastener for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded low socket cap screw conforming to ASME/ANSI B18.8.

Installation Notes

Install using a 3/16-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before installation. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer for the joint material and thread engagement depth. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before performing fastener service on live machinery.
