Value Collection 402096PR Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 402096PR is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. The fastener measures 1.5 inches under the head with a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. It is partially threaded, which allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads in bolted connections. Made from Grade 2 steel with a bright, uncoated finish, this screw is suited for interior applications or assemblies where a protective coating is not required. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general contractors install this type of fastener using a standard hex wrench or socket driver.

This screw is used across a wide range of light-duty mechanical and structural applications including equipment frames, brackets, panels, and enclosures. The partially threaded shank provides a clean bearing surface where bolt fit and alignment matter. The UNC thread standard ensures compatibility with the most common tapped holes and hex nuts found in North American trade applications. This SKU is sold individually but requires a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread provides broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• Partially threaded shank supports shear load applications and precise bolt alignment
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general-purpose strength requirements for light-duty fastening
• Bright uncoated finish suits interior and dry-environment installations
• 1.5-inch length under head accommodates standard stack-up thicknesses in typical assemblies
• Minimum order quantity of 100 pieces supports bulk maintenance and production use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw for use with any tapped hole, hex nut, or threaded insert conforming to UNC thread specifications in inch-measurement fastener applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a hex socket or open-end wrench sized for a standard 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Verify the mating thread is clean and free of debris before driving. For structural or load-bearing connections, consult applicable torque tables for Grade 2 fasteners and applicable codes such as AISC or OSHA structural fastening guidelines. Do not overtighten, as Grade 2 steel has lower proof strength than Grade 5 or Grade 8 fasteners.
