It features a 3\/8-16 UNC thread size with a 1 inch length under the head and is driven by a 5\/16 inch hex key. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener delivers corrosion resistance suitable for wet, chemical-exposure, or outdoor environments. The socket cap head style allows installation in confined spaces where a wrench or impact driver cannot access the fastener head. Trades including plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and millwrights use this style of fastener in a wide range of field and shop applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is appropriate for residential and commercial service work wherever a 3\/8-16 UNC thread pattern is required. Common applications include equipment mounting, pipe hanger assemblies, bracket fabrication, and panel or housing fastening. The fully threaded body maximizes thread engagement across the full fastener length, making it well-suited for thin-material clamping or applications where thread engagement depth is limited. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is a standard choice for applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance without the added cost of 316-series alloys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC fully threaded body for maximum thread engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or Allen-type drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket cap head profile allows installation in tight or recessed clearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 inch length under head suits a wide range of standard fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style or general-service replacement fastener for any assembly specifying a 3\/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 1 inch length under head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a properly sized 5\/16 inch hex key or socket-style Allen driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving to avoid cross-threading. For stainless steel fasteners, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to the threads prior to installation to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when securing structural or pressure-bearing assemblies.\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 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fully Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inch\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\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161501\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: 198704\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690389766450,"sku":"198704","price":1697.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/50cd6f2faedb93f9692bf754efdc6403.jpg?v=1788269844","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-198704-hex-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
