It features a 3\/8-16 UNC thread and measures 3.25 inches under the head, with partial threading along the shank. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with no additional coating, this fastener resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments. The hex drive head accepts standard wrenches and sockets. Weighing approximately 0.2 pounds per unit, it is suited for installations where a clean, uncoated stainless finish is required without sacrificing tensile performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, pool and spa hardware, and electrical enclosure assembly. The 3\/8-16 UNC thread is a widely used coarse thread pitch compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts in inch-based hardware systems. Partial threading makes it appropriate for clamping applications where a smooth shank section is needed to bear shear loads or maintain alignment across joined materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes and nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.25-inch length under head with partial threading for shear-load and clamping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUncoated finish eliminates coating thickness variables and chemical incompatibility concerns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex head drive accepts standard combination wrenches and sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard inch-system assemblies requiring a 3\/8-16 UNC partially threaded hex head cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a standard open-end, box-end, or socket wrench sized for a 3\/8-inch hex head cap screw. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. When fastening into stainless steel tapped holes, apply an anti-seize compound to reduce the risk of galling.
