It features a 3\/8-16 UNC thread size and a 7-inch length under head, making it suitable for deeper fastening applications where standard-length screws fall short. The alloy steel construction is finished with a black oxide coating, which provides moderate corrosion resistance and reduces light glare on the fastener head. A 5\/16-inch hex drive (Allen key) is required for installation. This fastener meets ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, confirming dimensional and mechanical property compliance for load-bearing use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis socket cap screw is suited for machinery assembly, structural fixturing, and equipment maintenance where a recessed hex drive is preferred over an external hex head. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads, a common requirement in pivot points, clevis joints, and precision-fit bores. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians typically select this style when access is limited or a flush or recessed fastener profile is needed. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-inch length under head suits deep-reach fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePartially threaded shank transfers shear loads through the unthreaded body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen keys and hex bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 mechanical requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard stock fastener for machinery, fixtures, and equipment using 3\/8-16 UNC tapped holes requiring a socket cap screw with a 7-inch length under head.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a 5\/16-inch hex key or Allen bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or thread-locking compound per the equipment manufacturer's torque specification, as no torque value is supplied with this fastener. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before performing fastener service on mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black Oxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME\/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM A574\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: -48546-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704110711090,"sku":"-48546-4","price":30.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c2ffb0118a4ebd7cf8ebdf43bbc6e3d0.jpg?v=1788420661","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-48546-4-hex-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
