Threaded to 3\/8-16 UNC coarse pitch, this screw measures 1-1\/4 inches under the head and is driven with a 5\/16-inch hex key. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it offers strong corrosion resistance in wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. This fastener is a standard choice for mechanical assemblies, equipment framing, and structural connections where a torqued, tamper-resistant socket head is preferred over an external hex configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and trade applications where 3\/8-16 UNC threaded connections are specified. Common install scenarios include HVAC equipment mounting brackets, plumbing support structures, pump housings, and general mechanical assemblies. The 316 stainless steel grade makes it particularly appropriate for outdoor installations, coastal environments, and any setting where fastener corrosion is a service concern. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working in corrosive or high-humidity environments typically specify this grade for long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/4 inch length under head provides adequate grip range for typical bracket and panel thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen or hex key sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in marine and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket cap head style allows installation in recessed or tight-clearance locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener in any application specifying a 3\/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw with a 1-1\/4-inch length under head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a 5\/16-inch hex key or Allen driver; use of a torque wrench is recommended for structural connections to meet application specifications. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Power down or de-energize any equipment being serviced before fastener removal or replacement. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for torque requirements specific to the assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 1-1\/4 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\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 63538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699912638770,"sku":"63538","price":43.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/42daf0f34232853970340d2bbbf1ac26.jpg?v=1788383194","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-63538-hex-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
