Value Collection 63536 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc 10pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63536 is a hex socket cap screw designed for industrial and mechanical fastening applications where corrosion resistance and strength are critical. With a 3/8-16 UNC thread size and a 3/4 inch length under head, this screw accepts a 5/16 inch hex drive for precise torque application. Manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel, it delivers reliable performance in wet, chemical, or marine environments where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode. Sold in a pack of 10, this SKU is suited for maintenance techs, pipefitters, plumbers, and mechanical contractors who need a dependable, corrosion-resistant fastener for repeated-use applications.

This socket cap screw is appropriate for use in plumbing, HVAC equipment mounting, pump assemblies, and general mechanical installations where a flush or recessed fastener head is required. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread provides strong clamping force in metal and threaded-insert applications. Grade 316 stainless construction makes it a common choice for installations exposed to moisture, chlorine, or mild chemical contact, including pool equipment, marine hardware, and food-service adjacent environments. The hex socket drive allows installation in tight clearance areas where a standard wrench cannot reach.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for reliable clamping in metal or insert applications
• 3/4 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening requirements
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive allows use in recessed or tight-clearance locations
• Grade 316 stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance over Grade 304 in chloride-rich environments
• Pack of 10 reduces per-unit cost for multi-point fastening jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and pool equipment fastening applications where a 3/4 inch length under head and Grade 316 stainless steel material are required.

Installation Notes

Install with a 5/16 inch hex key or T-handle hex driver; use a torque wrench calibrated to the appropriate specification for the application and mating material. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Grade 316 stainless fasteners are susceptible to galling when driven at high speed into stainless tapped holes — apply an anti-seize compound to reduce this risk. Follow applicable mechanical codes for fastener selection and installation in pressurized or structural assemblies.
