Value Collection 402098PR Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 402098PR is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications across mechanical, structural, and fabrication work. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 1-3/4-inch length under head, this screw is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The partial threading allows for a smooth shank section that provides clamping strength without thread engagement through the full grip length. Installers and tradespeople working in fabrication, equipment assembly, or structural mounting will find this a standard, reliable fastener for everyday bolted connections.

This cap screw is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening in residential and commercial applications where Grade 2 steel meets the load requirements. Typical uses include equipment panels, brackets, light structural steel, HVAC component mounting, and general assembly work. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common thread sizes in American inch-standard fastener applications, making replacement and tooling straightforward on most job sites. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Designed as a general-purpose inch-standard hex head cap screw compatible with any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded fastener with a 1-3/4-inch grip length.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket rated for the fastener size. Ensure mating threads and clearance holes are free of debris before installation. For structural applications, verify that Grade 2 steel meets the load and shear requirements specified by the applicable design standard before use. Do not use in applications requiring Grade 5 or Grade 8 fastener ratings without confirming suitability.
