Value Collection 592338PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592338PR is a hex socket cap screw with a 3/8-16 UNC thread size and a 6-inch length under head. It uses a 5/16-inch hex drive and is partially threaded along the shank. Manufactured from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) with a bright, uncoated finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance for applications where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. It meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards. Installation requires a standard 5/16-inch hex key or Allen driver.

This cap screw is suited for mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, and structural fastening tasks in commercial and industrial environments. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread provides reliable engagement in tapped steel, aluminum, and stainless steel components. Partially threaded shanks allow for controlled clamping force and are preferred when fastening two thick members where full threading is not required or desired.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 6-inch length under head accommodates deep-stack assemblies
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for positive torque transfer with a hex key or bit
• Partially threaded shank for controlled clamping in thick-material applications
• 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Grade A2) for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-pattern hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a 6-inch length under head with a 5/16-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Verify that the mating tapped hole thread form and depth are compatible with 3/8-16 UNC before installation. Stainless-to-stainless threaded assemblies carry a risk of galling; apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when threading into stainless steel tapped holes. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer torque specifications for the assembly being serviced.
