Value Collection 210043 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24 18-8 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 210043 is a hex head cap screw in 3/8-24 x 1-1/4 inch configuration, manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. The 3/8-24 designation indicates a 3/8-inch nominal diameter with 24 threads per inch on a Unified National Fine (UNF) thread form, providing precise thread engagement suited to close-tolerance mechanical assemblies. The 9/16-inch hex drive head accepts a standard hex wrench or socket. The 18-8 stainless steel alloy delivers corrosion resistance appropriate for wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC mechanics, and general mechanical contractors use fasteners of this type when securing equipment panels, brackets, flanges, and structural hardware where corrosion protection is a priority.

This fastener is suited for use in residential and light commercial mechanical installations where a fine-thread stainless steel screw is required. Typical applications include equipment mounting frames, sheet metal enclosures, piping support hardware, and HVAC component brackets. The fine UNF thread pitch provides greater tensile strength and improved resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse-thread equivalents of the same diameter. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF thread for high tensile engagement and vibration resistance
• 1-1/4 inch length under head for standard panel and bracket fastening
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 9/16-inch hex head compatible with standard wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard US mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNF hex head cap screw for use in any mechanical assembly requiring a 3/8-24 threaded fastener with an 18-8 stainless steel material specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or tradesperson using a 9/16-inch wrench or socket. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not overtighten into tapped holes in soft materials such as aluminum; consult fastener torque guidelines appropriate to the joint material and application. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening or removing hardware on electrical enclosures or mechanical panels.
