Value Collection 403114PR Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16x2

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 403114PR is a 3/8-16 x 2 inch hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose mechanical fastening in a wide range of industrial, HVAC, plumbing, and structural assembly applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a zinc plating finish, this screw provides basic corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. The partial threading allows it to bear load along the unthreaded shank, making it appropriate for through-bolting applications where clamping force and alignment matter. Turned with a 9/16 inch hex key or wrench, it follows the UNC (Unified National Coarse) thread standard at 3/8-16 threads per inch.

This fastener is commonly used in mechanical equipment assembly, HVAC unit mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, and general fabrication work. The 2 inch length under head and partial thread configuration make it well suited for joining medium-thickness material panels, brackets, and flanges. Trade professionals across HVAC, plumbing, and electrical installation regularly use UNC-thread cap screws of this size for equipment mounting and structural connections. This item is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per order.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for broad hardware compatibility
• 2 inch length under head with partial threading for shank-bearing load applications
• Grade 2 steel construction for general-purpose mechanical use
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light outdoor environments
• 9/16 inch hex drive fits standard open-end, box-end, and socket wrenches
• Inch measurement system — direct drop-in for standard UNC fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any 3/8-16 threaded hole or nut following the Unified National Coarse thread standard in inch-measurement applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-threading into a compatible 3/8-16 tapped hole or through a clearance hole with a matching nut, then tightening with a 9/16 inch wrench or socket. De-energize and lock out any equipment before fastening near electrical or mechanical components per applicable safety codes. Do not exceed the load ratings appropriate for Grade 2 steel fasteners in structural or pressure-bearing connections. Apply a thread lubricant or anti-seize compound if required by the application to prevent galling.
