Value Collection 36838 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36838 is a flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications in metal fabrication, mechanical assembly, and industrial maintenance. The 82-degree flat head seats cleanly into a countersunk hole, keeping the fastener head at or below the surface of the mating material. Driven by a 7/32-inch hex socket, this screw provides reliable torque transfer during installation. The alloy steel construction and black oxide finish deliver solid mechanical strength with moderate corrosion resistance for indoor and protected environments. Thread size is 3/8-16 UNC, and the screw is fully threaded along its 2-inch overall length.

This screw is suited for use in light industrial, commercial, and trade service applications where a low-profile fastener is required. Common installation scenarios include machine guards, panel mounting, fixture assembly, and equipment enclosures. The fully threaded configuration maximizes thread engagement in thinner stock and tapped holes. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces, sold in increments of 25.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile for flush countersunk seating
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for controlled torque application
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded 2-inch length maximizes engagement in shallow stock
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards
• Black oxide finish provides light corrosion resistance for indoor and protected use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC fastener replacement or new installation screw for any application requiring a 3/8-16 x 2-inch flat socket cap screw per ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 7/32-inch hex key or socket drive tool. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener installation or replacement. Countersink the mating material to an 82-degree angle to achieve proper head seating. Follow applicable facility or equipment maintenance standards for fastener torque procedures, as no torque specification is provided with this part.
