Value Collection 207685B Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 1 in 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207685B is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, a common austenitic grade that provides solid corrosion resistance in a wide range of service environments. The fastener follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard with a 1-inch length under head and a 9/16-inch hex drive. It weighs approximately 0.05 pounds per unit. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and mechanical contractors reach for this size and grade when securing equipment panels, mounting brackets, pipe hangers, and light structural assemblies where exposure to moisture or mild chemicals is a concern.

This screw is suited for general trade and light industrial applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment panels, electrical enclosure hardware, plumbing fixture mounting, and pool equipment assemblies exposed to humid or wet conditions. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is widely used in inch-system equipment across residential and light commercial construction. Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for stocking in service vehicles or shop bins.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion in wet or humid service environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most common inch-system coarse-thread sizes in trade applications
• 1-inch length under head suits standard panel and bracket mounting tasks
• 9/16-inch hex drive is compatible with standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for direct replacement in UNC-threaded applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC hex head cap screw for any inch-system application requiring a 3/8-16 x 1-inch 18-8 stainless steel fastener. No specific equipment model compatibility was provided by the manufacturer for this part.

Installation Notes

This fastener is installed by any trade professional using standard hand or power tools with a 9/16-inch socket or wrench. De-energize and lock out any electrical equipment before accessing panels or enclosures secured by these screws. Do not mix stainless steel fasteners with dissimilar metals in direct contact without appropriate isolation, as galvanic corrosion may occur. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound when fastening into aluminum or other dissimilar materials to prevent galling, which is a known behavior of stainless steel fasteners under high torque.
