Value Collection 204245B Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 204245B is a 3/8-16 x 4-inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. It features partial threading along the shank and conforms to Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. The 4-inch length is measured under the head. Grade 316 stainless steel provides strong resistance to corrosion and chemical exposure, making this fastener a dependable choice in harsh or wet environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance professionals working on mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections rely on this type of hardware for secure, long-lasting joints.

This hex head cap screw is suited for general industrial, commercial, and trade applications where corrosion resistance and thread strength are priorities. Typical installation scenarios include HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture anchoring, pool and aquatic equipment assembly, and marine or coastal construction. The partially threaded shank allows for a clamping grip between mated surfaces, which is useful when connecting two or more components without full thread engagement through the entire fastener length.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion and chemical resistance
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for broad hardware compatibility
• 4-inch length under head for deep fastening applications
• Partially threaded shank for improved clamping force between surfaces
• Uncoated finish maintains base material properties without added coatings
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard SAE tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use with 3/8-16 threaded holes or nuts in inch-measurement fastener applications across industrial, mechanical, and trade installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 3/8-16 cap screw head. Always verify that the mating thread or nut is also rated 3/8-16 UNC before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live mechanical or electrical assemblies. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and thread engagement depth.
