Value Collection 202969 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 5/8 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 202969 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw in the 3/8-16 UNC thread configuration with a 5/8-inch length under head. Made from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, and marine environments. The hex drive head accepts standard wrenches and sockets for straightforward installation. It is suited for structural and mechanical assembly applications where stainless material is specified for corrosion performance or code compliance. Weighing approximately 0.003 pounds per piece, it is a compact fastener for light to medium fastening tasks.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assembly, pool and spa equipment installation, and general mechanical work where Grade 316 stainless steel is called out. The fully threaded length makes it effective in through-bolt and tapped-hole applications where maximum thread engagement is needed along the full shank. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 25 pieces, making it appropriate for service vehicles, shop stock, and job-site fastener kits.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance compared to 304-grade fasteners
• Fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement in tapped holes or with nuts
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-system hardware
• Bright, uncoated finish — no plating to chip, flake, or introduce galvanic concerns with stainless mating parts
• 5/8-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance applications and thin-material assemblies
• Minimum order quantity of 25 pieces supports bulk stocking for service and installation work

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel. Suitable for use with standard inch-system 3/8-16 nuts, inserts, and tapped components.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Always verify that mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. In corrosive or submerged environments, consider applying an anti-seize compound compatible with stainless steel to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque and fastener spacing requirements.
