Value Collection 2-HF-37C-550 Hex Head Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-HF-37C-550 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw used to fasten components in applications that demand corrosion resistance and structural reliability. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and measures 5.5 inches under the head. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments. It is sized for trade work where a standard hex drive and full thread engagement are required along the entire shank length.

This fastener is suited for plumbing, HVAC, electrical enclosure, and pool equipment installations where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. The fully threaded design provides maximum thread engagement and is appropriate for through-bolt applications or where thread reach is needed along the full length of the fastener. It is commonly used in both residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments

• Inch measurement system with UNC thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use fastener for trade assemblies requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson using appropriately sized wrenches or sockets for the hex head drive. Always de-energize and depressurize the system before fastener service. Use thread lubricant or anti-seize compound where stainless fasteners may be subject to galling during assembly. Do not mix stainless and carbon steel fasteners in the same joint, as galvanic corrosion may result.
