Value Collection 207696 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 207696 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, it provides reliable corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The screw features a 3/8-16 UNC thread profile and measures 2 inches under the head. Fully threaded along the entire shank, it maximizes thread engagement across the full length of the fastener. This type of fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, pipefitters, plumbers, and HVAC mechanics wherever a hex-drive fastener is needed in stainless-compatible assemblies.

This fastener is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical systems, including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, pool equipment enclosures, and general panel or bracket assembly. The 3/8-16 UNC thread standard is widely used across trade applications, making this screw a common replacement or supplemental fastener on job sites. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.
