Value Collection 204223 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 204223 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel. It measures 2 inches under the head and uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. The 9/16-inch hex drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets. Grade 316 stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this fastener well suited for wet, chemical, or marine environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general mechanical contractors reach for 316 stainless hardware when installations demand long-term resistance to moisture and corrosive agents.

This cap screw is used in a wide range of trade and industrial applications where corrosion resistance and strength are required. Typical installations include equipment mounting in mechanical rooms, outdoor electrical enclosures, pool and spa equipment, plumbing support structures, and any setting where contact with water, chlorine, or cleaning chemicals is expected. The 3/8-16 thread size is a commonly specified fastener diameter across HVAC, plumbing, and pool service work. This screw is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for elevated corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 2-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• 9/16-inch hex drive accepts common wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system — no metric conversion required for standard trade work

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw in Grade 316 stainless steel, including equipment mounting, structural supports, and enclosures exposed to moisture or corrosive conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/16-inch wrench or socket. Verify that the mating nut or tapped hole is rated for 3/8-16 UNC thread before assembly. When fastening stainless steel into stainless hardware, apply an anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for the specific trade and jurisdiction.
