Value Collection -40883-2 Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -40883-2 is a 3/8-16 button socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a low-profile head and a secure hex socket drive. Manufactured from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw measures 1 inch in length under the head and is fully threaded with a right-hand UNC thread form. It carries a hardness rating of 36-43 HRC, providing solid shear and tensile strength for mechanical assemblies. The 7/32-inch hex socket drive accepts a standard hex key, making it a straightforward install for HVAC techs, electricians, plumbers, and general industrial trades working on panel assemblies, equipment housings, or mechanical subframes.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a flush or near-flush fastener profile is required. Button head cap screws are commonly used in equipment enclosures, access panels, fan shrouds, and structural brackets where standard hex head fasteners would interfere with adjacent components. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance in dry or lightly humid environments. Sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces per order.

Key Features

• Fully threaded 3/8-16 UNC right-hand thread for consistent thread engagement
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or maintenance fastener for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded button socket cap screw with a 1-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or compatible hex bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable torque guidance from the equipment manufacturer or relevant ANSI standards for 3/8-16 fasteners in the given material stack. Do not exceed the rated thread fit class 3A engagement depth of the receiving component.
