The 82-degree flat head seats into a standard countersink, keeping the fastener surface-level with the mating material. A 7\/32-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench. The screw is partially threaded, with a 3\/8-16 UNC thread form running along a portion of the 3-inch overall length. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it offers solid mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance in protected interior environments. Licensed tradespeople and mechanical contractors use this fastener in structural, machine, and equipment assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw suits residential and commercial mechanical assembly tasks where a low-profile countersunk head is required. Typical applications include machine frames, equipment enclosures, brackets, and structural fixtures where the fastener must sit flush with or below the surface. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to pass freely through a clearance hole before engaging the tapped bore, which helps with precise alignment and shear load handling. Sold in a pack quantity of 25, this screw is appropriate for both single-job use and general shop stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e82-degree flat head profile for flush countersink seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e7\/32-inch hex socket drive for standard Allen key or hex bit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread form, partially threaded on a 3-inch overall length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction for high tensile strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance in dry or indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePack of 25 screws per order unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw compatible with any tapped or threaded insert rated for 3\/8-16 UNC threads per ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a properly sized 7\/32-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener service on live mechanical assemblies. Ensure the mating countersink is machined to 82 degrees to achieve full head contact and proper seating. Do not overtighten alloy steel screws into softer base materials such as aluminum without consulting torque guidance from the mating component manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches (overall)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 82-degree flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME\/ANSI B18.3, ASTM F835\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36842\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51716568154418,"sku":"36842","price":34.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/89852bc592da12d6deb8b095b90dfad3.jpg?v=1788528036","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-36842-flat-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16-x-3-in-25-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
