Value Collection 1728 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2-3/4 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1728 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw intended for general mechanical assembly and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically mild environments. The 3/8-16 UNC thread profile provides a coarse pitch suitable for fast engagement in tapped holes or with standard hex nuts. At 2-3/4 inches under the head, the partial threading leaves a smooth shank section that reduces stress concentration and allows for precise grip-length control in bolted joints. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and pool equipment service will find this screw appropriate for equipment panels, brackets, and field-fabricated assemblies.

This fastener is suited for light industrial and commercial equipment installations where stainless steel is required to resist moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure. Typical applications include mounting brackets, access panels, conduit supports, pump bases, and equipment frames. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes in North American trade work, making this screw compatible with a wide range of standard hardware. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard 9/16 inch hex wrench or socket driver. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an anti-seize compound to the threads before torquing. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing panels or structural members secured by this fastener. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the joint being assembled.
