It measures 3 inches under the head and uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form, with a 9\/16-inch hex drive. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet, humid, and mildly chemical environments. This fastener is installed using a standard hex wrench or socket and is suited for structural and mechanical assembly applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors commonly use stainless hex cap screws in equipment mounting, pipe support, and panel assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial applications where a coarse-thread stainless fastener is required. Typical use cases include equipment brackets, duct supports, electrical enclosures, pump mounts, and general mechanical assemblies exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions. The UNC thread form is the most widely used coarse-thread standard in inch-based fastener applications, making this screw compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts of the same thread designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread form fits standard inch-system tapped holes and nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e9\/16-inch hex drive compatible with standard wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInch measurement system for direct replacement in UNC-threaded assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-system UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3\/8-16 threaded fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is installed by hand-threading into a properly tapped 3\/8-16 UNC hole, then tightening with a 9\/16-inch wrench or socket. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastening work near electrical or mechanical systems. Do not exceed the material yield strength of 18-8 stainless steel when torquing, and avoid mixing stainless hardware with dissimilar metals in corrosive environments to prevent galvanic corrosion. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and installation procedures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHex Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC (Unified National Coarse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement System\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1738\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700050002226,"sku":"1738","price":67.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/de11a7b74454417d5c9067f4f606454e.jpg?v=1788385400","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-1738-hex-head-cap-screw-3-8-16-x-3-in-18-8-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
