This fastener measures 3\/8-16 thread size with a 2-inch length under the head, machined to Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. Constructed from Grade 316 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, it delivers strong corrosion resistance, making it well-suited for marine, chemical, and outdoor industrial applications where standard steel fasteners would degrade. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals rely on this screw for structural and equipment assembly tasks requiring durable, non-reactive hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap screw is a standard inch-measurement fastener applicable across a wide range of trade and industrial settings. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, pool equipment assembly, and general mechanical fabrication where moisture or chemical exposure is a factor. The 3\/8-16 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common in North American mechanical assemblies, making this fastener broadly compatible with standard tapped holes and nuts of the same specification. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 2-inch length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrade 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304 in chloride and acidic environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully threaded shank allows maximum clamping and thread engagement along the entire 2-inch length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with widely available matching nuts, inserts, and tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and allows for easy inspection of thread condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInch measurement system; length measured under head per standard fastener convention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/8-16 UNC inch-series hex head cap screw.

Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. In stainless steel assemblies, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling during installation. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque and fastener selection based on joint load requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC (Unified National Coarse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull or Partial Threading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fully Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bright \/ Uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.007 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 202983\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699160744242,"sku":"202983","price":5981.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6d98ff05265a28d0aeb491a87680daa6.jpg?v=1788372954","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-202983-hex-head-cap-screw-3-8-16-x-2-in-316-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
