Value Collection 202970 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 202970 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw with a 3/4-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. Grade 316 stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making it the preferred choice in wet, salt-air, and chemically aggressive environments. The 9/16-inch hex drive allows installation with standard hex wrenches and sockets. This fastener follows inch-system dimensions and UNC thread standards. It is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, pipefitters, pool service professionals, and marine tradespeople who require reliable corrosion resistance in demanding conditions.

This screw is suited for use in applications where exposure to moisture, chlorine, salt water, or mild chemical environments is expected. Typical installations include pool equipment mounting, marine hardware assemblies, coastal HVAC unit fastening, and plumbing fixture attachment. The UNC thread form provides broad compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes and nuts. Minimum order quantity for this fastener is 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet and salt-air environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-system tapped holes and hardware
• 3/4-inch length under head suits medium-depth clamping applications
• 9/16-inch hex drive works with common wrenches and sockets
• Inch system of measurement throughout — direct replacement in standard UNC assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in any assembly requiring a 3/8-16 UNC inch-thread hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel, including pool equipment frames, HVAC unit panels, plumbing hardware, and similar corrosion-exposed mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/16-inch wrench or socket. Power down or depressurize any equipment before disassembling fastener joints. Apply anti-seize compound when installing stainless steel fasteners into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidance for the specific assembly.
