Value Collection 3TSSF96C308 Flat Socket Cap Screw

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 3TSSF96C308 is a flat socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a flush or countersunk fastener profile. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC thread with an overall length of 3.5 inches, this screw is machined from 316 stainless steel for strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. The 82-degree flat head seats flush with the mating surface when driven into a properly countersunk hole. A 7/32-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit for installation. Millwrights, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople commonly use this fastener in equipment assemblies, fluid-handling systems, and structural brackets where head protrusion is not acceptable.

This screw is suited for use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings where corrosion resistance and a low-profile head are required. Typical applications include pump and valve assemblies, marine hardware, food-processing equipment frames, and stainless steel fabrication projects. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard inch-series tapped holes and hex nuts. Minimum order quantity is 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head provides a fully flush, countersunk profile when seated
• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in marine, chemical, and high-moisture environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread engages standard inch-series tapped holes and fasteners
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with common Allen keys and hex bit drivers
• 3.5-inch overall length suits deeper through-bolt and countersunk structural applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use flat socket cap screw for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC thread, 82-degree countersink, and 316 stainless steel material grade.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or Allen-drive bit. Ensure the mating hole is tapped to 3/8-16 UNC and countersunk at 82 degrees to achieve a flush seating surface. Apply appropriate anti-seize compound when installing 316 stainless fasteners into stainless steel tapped holes to prevent galling. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastener replacement on live assemblies.
