Value Collection 3716CHAL Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16x1 Aluminum

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3716CHAL is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw machined from 2024T4 aluminum alloy. It measures 1 inch in length under the head and uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. The 9/16-inch hex drive allows installation with standard hex wrenches or a socket driver. 2024T4 aluminum offers a strong strength-to-weight ratio, making this fastener a practical choice where steel weight is a concern but load-bearing performance is still required. Machinists, millwrights, and assembly technicians regularly specify this grade for structural and mechanical applications.

This cap screw is suited for light industrial, aerospace-adjacent, and precision mechanical assemblies where aluminum fasteners are specified by design. Typical applications include fixture building, equipment frames, enclosures, and component mounting in environments where corrosion resistance and reduced weight are priorities over maximum tensile strength. It is sold in multiples of 10 per order, with individual package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 2024T4 aluminum alloy construction for a high strength-to-weight ratio
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for broad tooling and hardware compatibility
• 1 inch length under head for standard through-bolt and threaded insert applications
• 9/16-inch hex drive compatible with standard wrenches and sockets
• Lightweight alternative to steel cap screws in weight-sensitive assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw with a 1-inch length under head. Fits standard 3/8-16 tapped holes and accepts 9/16-inch hex drive tooling.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/16-inch combination wrench, box wrench, or socket. Power down and de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Avoid over-torquing aluminum fasteners, as the material is more susceptible to thread stripping than steel at equivalent sizes. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines or industry fastener standards for the specific joint design.
