Value Collection 207683 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207683 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw with a 3/4-inch length under head, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance in demanding environments. It follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard and uses a 9/16-inch hex drive. This fastener is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment mounting, and structural connections where moisture exposure or chemical contact makes carbon steel a poor choice. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working on HVAC equipment, plumbing fixtures, pump housings, and electrical enclosures regularly use stainless hex cap screws of this type.

This screw is appropriate for both indoor and outdoor applications in residential and commercial settings. Common install scenarios include securing equipment panels, flanges, brackets, and access covers on HVAC systems, water treatment equipment, pool and spa hardware, and general mechanical assemblies. The 18-8 stainless steel grade provides adequate corrosion resistance for most non-marine environments and is widely accepted across plumbing, HVAC, and pool service trades. This SKU ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 50 units.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-pattern tapped holes

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion without coating
• 9/16-inch hex drive accepts standard open-end, box-end, and socket wrenches
• Inch measurement system aligns with standard North American equipment hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole or nut in general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and pool equipment assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 9/16-inch wrench or socket driver. De-energize electrical equipment and shut off fluid systems before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Avoid mixing stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in high-conductivity environments to minimize galvanic corrosion risk. Apply anti-seize compound if installing into aluminum or cast iron to ease future removal.
