Value Collection 208951C Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 208951C is a hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening applications. It features a 3/8-16 Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread and measures 3.5 inches in length under the head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, chemical, or outdoor environments. The 9/16-inch hex drive accommodates standard hex wrenches and sockets. It is suited for use by maintenance technicians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and industrial mechanics working with equipment that demands a corrosion-resistant fastener in a standard inch thread size.

This cap screw is used in a broad range of assembly and maintenance applications including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, pump and motor mounting, and general structural fastening. Its UNC thread pattern is the most common inch-series thread standard in North American mechanical systems, making it a practical stock item for service vehicles and shop inventory. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications where stainless steel is specified.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/16-inch open-end, box, or socket wrench. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Apply thread-locking compound or anti-seize as required by the specific application. Do not exceed the rated load for 18-8 stainless steel hardware, and avoid mixing with dissimilar metals in highly corrosive environments to minimize galvanic reaction.
