Value Collection 211213P Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 211213P is a flat socket cap screw designed for countersunk fastening applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It features a 82-degree flat head with a 7/32-inch hex socket drive, allowing flush or below-surface installation where a low-profile fastener is required. The screw is fully threaded with a 3/8-16 UNC thread and measures 1-1/4 inches in overall length. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers solid mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance in dry or lightly oiled environments. Licensed tradespeople and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This flat socket cap screw is used in a wide range of applications including machine frames, fixtures, tooling plates, and structural assemblies where a flush or recessed fastener is preferred. Its UNC thread form is standard across inch-system mechanical work, making it compatible with commonly tapped holes in steel, aluminum, and other metals. The black oxide finish suits applications where light lubrication is present or where cosmetic appearance is a factor.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile for flush or countersunk installation
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex keys
• Fully threaded 3/8-16 UNC shank for maximum thread engagement across the full 1-1/4-inch length
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for machinery, fixtures, and assemblies using 3/8-16 UNC countersunk socket fasteners per ASME/ANSI B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to 82 degrees before driving the screw flush. Verify thread engagement depth meets load requirements for the application. Torque to values appropriate for the grade and material being fastened per applicable ASME or facility standards.
