Value Collection 592345PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 592345PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in precision and structural applications. Featuring a 3/8-24 UNF thread size and a 7/8-inch length under head, this fastener is fully threaded and accepts a 5/16-inch hex drive. Constructed from 18-8 austenitic stainless steel (Austenitic Grade A2), it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for use in wet, humid, or chemically exposed environments. The bright, uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy for applications requiring tight tolerances. Licensed mechanics, maintenance technicians, and industrial assemblers commonly specify this fastener where stainless material grades are required by design or code.

This cap screw is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, plumbing fixtures, HVAC component mounting, and general industrial fabrication where fine-thread engagement and stainless steel construction are specified. The 3/8-24 UNF thread pitch provides greater thread engagement per inch compared to coarse-thread fasteners, making it a common choice in vibration-prone assemblies and applications requiring precise torque control. It is sold individually but subject to a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fully threaded for maximum thread engagement along the full shank length
• 7/8-inch length under head for standard fastening depth in typical assembly thicknesses
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel (Austenitic Grade A2) construction for corrosion resistance
• Bright, uncoated finish maintains precise dimensional tolerances
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ASME/ANSI B18.3 hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application specifying a 3/8-24 UNF fully threaded stainless steel socket head cap screw with a 7/8-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified technicians or tradespeople using an appropriately sized 5/16-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling during installation — apply an anti-galling lubricant or anti-seize compound to threads when torquing. Follow applicable mechanical or structural specifications for torque values relevant to the assembly.
