Value Collection 207694 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207694 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening in trade and industrial applications. Sized at 3/8-16 x 1-3/4 inches, it follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The full-thread configuration runs the length under the head, providing maximum thread engagement for secure clamping in thin-material or through-bolt applications. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians commonly use fasteners in this specification when assembling equipment, mounting brackets, or securing access panels in corrosive or wet environments.

This screw is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel fasteners are specified to resist rust and galvanic degradation. Typical install scenarios include outdoor equipment mounting, pool mechanical rooms, marine-adjacent environments, and any assembly where carbon steel fasteners are not acceptable due to moisture or chemical exposure. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is a widely used standard size across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical enclosure hardware.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full 1-3/4 inch length under head
• 3/8-16 UNC thread standard for broad tool and hardware compatibility
• Hex head drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for use with standard imperial fastener tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 x 1-3/4 inch fully threaded fastener in 18-8 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using an appropriately sized hex wrench or socket driver rated for the fastener grade. Verify thread engagement in mating hardware before applying torque to avoid cross-threading. When installing stainless steel fasteners, apply anti-seize compound to prevent galling, which is common with stainless threads under high clamping loads. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for proper fastener specifications.
