Value Collection 2-S-37C-400 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2-S-37C-400 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a recessed drive and a low-profile head. The screw features a 3/8-16 thread size with a 4-inch length under the head and is partially threaded along its shank. Constructed from stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it resists corrosion in wet, chemical-exposure, and outdoor environments. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical trades use this type of fastener when a hex key drive is required for torquing in confined or flush-mount installations.

This socket cap screw is suited for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, structural bracketing, and enclosure fabrication across residential and light commercial trade applications. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to act as a pilot or guide in clearance holes, which is useful in precision or two-part clamped assemblies. The 3/8-16 thread form is a standard unified coarse thread widely used in HVAC equipment frames, plumbing supports, and electrical panel mounting.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 unified coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 4-inch length under head provides reach for thick or layered assemblies
• Partial threading allows unthreaded shank to seat cleanly in clearance holes
• Hex socket drive enables torquing with a standard hex key in tight spaces
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or chemically active environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no additional coating to flake, chip, or interfere with thread fit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a unified coarse thread fastener of this drive type and length.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hex key or Allen wrench sized to the socket cap head. Verify the mating tapped hole or nut is rated for 3/8-16 thread engagement before installing. De-energize or shut off all relevant equipment before fastening into or near electrical enclosures or mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable torque guidelines for stainless steel fasteners as outlined in the equipment manufacturer's service documentation.
