Value Collection 36874 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24 X 1 in 25pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 36874 is a flat socket cap screw engineered for applications requiring a flush or countersunk head profile. Sized at 3/8-24 x 1 inch overall length, it features an 82-degree flat head driven by a 7/32-inch hex socket. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers solid mechanical strength alongside basic corrosion resistance. The fully threaded shank conforms to UNF thread standards and meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 specifications. Each package contains 25 pieces, making it a practical choice for bench stock or recurring maintenance needs.

This screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, fixture mounting, and equipment fabrication where a low-profile head is required. The 3/8-24 UNF fine thread pitch provides tighter thread engagement and is commonly used in precision mechanical work, automotive components, and general industrial assembly. The black oxide finish blends into dark metal surfaces and adds minimal dimensional change to the fastener. Technicians working in HVAC equipment fabrication, panel assembly, or machinery maintenance will find this a standard, reliable fastener for countersunk hole patterns.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes for a low-profile installation
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling
• 3/8-24 UNF fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement over the full 1-inch length
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for demanding mechanical applications
• Black oxide finish offers basic corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards
• Sold in a 25-piece package to support bench stock and repeat-use applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-24 UNF flat socket cap screw compatible with any countersunk or flush-mount application requiring an 82-degree flat head profile and hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or mechanic familiar with fastener torque requirements for alloy steel UNF screws. Use a properly sized 7/32-inch hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket. Ensure the mating countersunk hole is machined to the correct 82-degree angle before seating the fastener. Apply thread-locking compound where vibration is a concern, per the equipment manufacturer guidelines.
