Value Collection 3TSSF96C112 Flat Socket Cap Screw 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSSF96C112 is a flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk fastener profile. It features a 7/32-inch hex socket drive and an 82-degree flat head that seats flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a properly countersunk hole. The screw is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, which provides strong resistance to corrosion in wet, chemical, and marine environments. Thread size is 3/8-16 UNC with an overall length of 1-3/4 inches. This fastener is installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and maintenance mechanics wherever a low-profile, corrosion-resistant threaded fastener is required.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for use in equipment panels, pump housings, enclosures, and structural assemblies where the fastener head must sit flush to avoid interference with mating components or moving parts. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for outdoor installations, coastal environments, pool and spa equipment, and chemical process assemblies where standard carbon steel or 304 stainless fasteners may corrode prematurely. The hex socket drive allows installation with a standard Allen key or hex bit driver in confined spaces where a conventional wrench cannot be used.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for use with Allen key or hex bit
• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance
• 3/8-16 UNC thread — coarse thread for general fastening applications
• 1-3/4-inch overall length suits medium-depth countersunk assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC-thread flat socket cap screw compatible with any 3/8-16 tapped hole requiring an 82-degree countersunk hex socket fastener.

Installation Notes

Install using a 7/32-inch hex key or matching hex bit driver. Ensure the receiving hole is countersunk to 82 degrees for proper head seating before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners in stainless tapped holes without applying an appropriate anti-seize compound, as galling can occur. Follow applicable mechanical and structural codes for torque and fastener spacing requirements.
