Value Collection 198707 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 198707 is a fully threaded hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand corrosion resistance and precise torque transfer. Built from 18-8 stainless steel, it uses a 5/16-inch hex drive and carries a 3/8-16 UNC thread specification with a 1-1/4-inch length under head. This fastener is installed by mechanical contractors, millwrights, pipefitters, and general tradespeople wherever a recessed-drive, high-strength cap screw is required. Full threading along the shank maximizes thread engagement in blind holes and through-hole assemblies.

This screw is suited for use in equipment assemblies, brackets, panel mounting, and mechanical connections in commercial and industrial environments. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for wet, outdoor, and corrosive-exposure installations where carbon steel fasteners would degrade. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is a common coarse-thread standard found across a wide range of manufactured equipment and structural components.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and oxidation
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen or hex key tooling
• 1-1/4-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation fastener for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded hex socket cap screw with a 1-1/4-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; use a torque wrench where joint specifications are critical. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Always de-energize or lock out equipment before accessing fastened assemblies on powered systems. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and replacement procedures.
