Value Collection 207680B Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 1/2 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207680B is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in corrosion-resistant environments. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener measures 1/2 inch in length under the head with a 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern and a 9/16 inch hex drive. The 18-8 alloy provides solid resistance to oxidation and mild chemical exposure, making it a practical choice for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where carbon steel would corrode. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener across HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, pump assemblies, and general mechanical systems.

This screw is suited for indoor and outdoor applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. The Unified National Coarse thread form is the standard for general-purpose fastening in inch-dimensioned systems. It is commonly used in light fabrication, equipment enclosures, panel mounting, and service work on mechanical systems encountered in residential and commercial trades. The 1/2 inch under-head length makes it appropriate for low-profile clamping situations where a short grip length is required.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-dimensioned tapped holes and nuts
• 1/2 inch length under head suits shallow-clearance fastening applications
• 9/16 inch hex drive accepts standard open-end, box, or socket wrenches
• Inch measurement system for use in standard imperial fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw for use with any tapped hole or nut conforming to the Unified National Coarse inch thread standard.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/16 inch wrench or socket driver. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before fastening or removing hardware on electrical or mechanical assemblies. Follow applicable codes and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines for structural connections. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in high-current or galvanic-prone environments to prevent accelerated corrosion.
