Value Collection 33632 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 33632 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-strength fastening in mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance applications. The screw features a 5/16-inch hex drive socket and a 3/4-inch length under head with full threading along the shank. Constructed from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, it delivers solid tensile strength and moderate corrosion resistance in indoor and controlled-environment applications. This fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a reliable choice for technicians and tradespeople who require a dimensionally consistent, specification-grade fastener.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for use in HVAC equipment panels, mechanical brackets, pump assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general industrial machinery. The socket drive style allows fastening in tight clearance areas where a traditional hex head wrench cannot reach. It is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field repair work across light industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Fully threaded shank along the 3/4-inch length under head for maximum thread engagement
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for use with Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength per ASTM A574
• Black oxide finish offers mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 dimensional standards for consistent fitment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC socket cap screw suitable for any application requiring an ASME/ANSI B18.3-compliant inch-series fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. De-energize or shut down any equipment before replacing or installing fasteners on live assemblies. Do not over-tighten alloy steel fasteners into softer base materials such as aluminum without consulting torque specifications for the mating material. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and relevant mechanical codes for fastener installation in trade applications.
