Value Collection 36837 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36837 is a flat socket cap screw designed for countersunk fastening applications where a flush or recessed head profile is required. This screw features an 82-degree flat head with a 7/32-inch hex socket drive and is manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish for moderate corrosion resistance. The 3/8-16 UNC thread runs the full length of the 1-3/4-inch shank, providing solid thread engagement across the entire fastened joint. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards, making it suitable for precision mechanical assemblies, tooling fixtures, and structural connections requiring a low-profile fastener head.

This screw is used in industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical maintenance applications where a flush surface finish is needed. The 3/8-16 UNC threading is a common size in inch-series machinery, making it a standard replacement or build fastener in equipment assembly, jig and fixture work, and general fabrication. The black oxide finish is appropriate for interior or lightly protected environments. This item is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 25 pieces.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head for countersunk, flush-mount installations
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard Allen keys
• Fully threaded 3/8-16 UNC shank for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding applications
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series replacement or assembly fastener for applications requiring a 3/8-16 UNC flat socket cap screw with an 82-degree countersunk head profile.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 7/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating countersink is machined to the correct 82-degree angle before installation to achieve a proper flush seat. De-energize or lock out any equipment before servicing fastened assemblies in accordance with applicable safety procedures. Do not exceed the rated torque specification for the alloy steel grade being used; consult the applicable ASME or equipment manufacturer guidelines.
