Value Collection 199627 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 199627 is a hex socket cap screw designed for use in mechanical assemblies, structural fastening, and equipment maintenance applications. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread specification with a 1-3/4 inch length under head and partial threading along the shank. The drive type is hex socket, requiring a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen wrench for installation and removal. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It is a standard industrial fastener commonly used by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical contractors across a wide range of equipment and structural applications.

This screw is suited for general-purpose fastening tasks in manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, pump and motor mounting, and similar trade applications where a corrosion-resistant hex socket fastener is required. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a coarse-thread designation commonly found in machine frames, brackets, enclosures, and equipment bases. The partial thread configuration provides a smooth shank section below the head, which is standard for clamping applications where thread engagement is required only at the receiving end.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for wide compatibility with standard threaded hardware
• 1-3/4 inch length under head with partial threading for proper clamping engagement
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or socket drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Partially threaded shank provides a solid bearing surface in clamping applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for any threaded hole or nut conforming to the UNC coarse-thread standard at 3/8 inch nominal diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen-style socket driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before installation. De-energize or isolate any equipment before accessing fastener locations in live systems. Follow applicable torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant industry standards when tightening.
