Value Collection 3TSSF96C300 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSSF96C300 is a 3/8-16 UNC flat socket cap screw machined from 316 stainless steel. It measures 3 inches in overall length and features an 82-degree flat head with a 7/32-inch hex socket drive. The 316 stainless alloy provides strong resistance to chloride corrosion and oxidation, making this fastener well suited for wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. Licensed trades and MRO technicians install this type of fastener where a flush or countersunk surface finish is required and standard hex head clearance is not available.

This flat socket cap screw is commonly used in HVAC equipment enclosures, pump housings, plumbing fixture brackets, pool and spa equipment frames, and other assemblies that demand a low-profile fastener head. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a widely used coarse-thread standard compatible with most tapped holes and threaded inserts in that size class across residential and light commercial equipment applications.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet and chemically active environments
• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or bit drivers
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with tapped holes and inserts
• 3-inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Minimum order quantity of 5 units per order

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension 3/8-16 UNC flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an 82-degree countersunk head and 316 stainless steel material grade.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or matching socket bit driver. Ensure the mating countersunk hole is machined to an 82-degree included angle for proper head seating. Power down and de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on live assemblies. Avoid cross-threading by starting the fastener by hand and confirming thread engagement before applying torque.
