Value Collection 451085PR Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24 X 10 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 451085PR is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw with a 3/8-24 UNF thread and a 10-inch length under head. Manufactured to ASME B18.2.1 standards, this fastener delivers the high tensile strength required for demanding mechanical and structural assemblies. The bright, uncoated finish is suitable for applications where plating or corrosion coating is not required. Partially threaded along its shank, this screw provides a clamping grip in the unthreaded section, which is important in precision joint applications. Installation requires a 9/16-inch hex key or wrench. Trade professionals in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical work rely on this grade for critical bolted connections.

This cap screw is suited for use in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a high-strength, inch-series UNF fastener is specified. Its partial threading makes it appropriate for through-bolting applications where a smooth shank section is needed to resist shear forces or maintain joint alignment. Installers working with steel equipment frames, brackets, and structural connections will find this fastener compatible with standard 3/8-24 tapped holes and matching nuts.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile and proof-load strength
• 3/8-24 UNF thread for fine-pitch engagement and vibration resistance
• 10-inch length under head accommodates deep or stacked assemblies
• Partially threaded shank provides shear resistance and clamping grip
• Bright, uncoated finish for use in dry or interior applications
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fastener for mechanical assemblies requiring a 3/8-24 UNF hex head cap screw in Grade 8 steel.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or trade professional using a calibrated torque wrench sized for a 9/16-inch hex drive. Ensure mating threads in the tapped hole or nut are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not mix inch-series UNF hardware with metric or UNC-threaded components. Always consult the equipment manufacturer's torque specification for the assembly being serviced.
