Value Collection 1765 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1765 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and HVAC service work. The screw measures 3.75 inches in length under the head and is partially threaded, making it well suited for through-bolting and clamping applications where thread engagement is needed only at the fastener end. Manufactured from Grade 18-8 stainless steel with an uncoated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments. The 9/16-inch hex drive is compatible with standard wrenches and sockets used in the field.

This hex head cap screw is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel fasteners are required for corrosion resistance. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting brackets, panel assemblies, conduit supports, and plumbing fixture hardware. The partially threaded shank provides shear strength across the grip length, which is useful in structural clamping situations. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical tradespeople using a standard 9/16-inch wrench or socket driver. Always de-energize equipment and relieve system pressure before accessing fastened assemblies. Use a calibrated torque wrench where joint specifications are defined by equipment manufacturer documentation. Anti-seize compound is not required but may be applied at the installer's discretion when fastening into dissimilar metals to prevent galling.
