Value Collection 63539 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 63539 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force. Machined from 316 stainless steel, this fastener features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a 1-1/2 inch length under head. Drive engagement is achieved with a 5/16 inch hex key. The 316 alloy grade provides superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments compared to standard 304 stainless, making it a dependable choice where moisture or chemical exposure is a concern. Installers across HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical trades use this size for structural and equipment attachment work.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a socket-drive fastener is required in corrosion-prone environments. Common install scenarios include equipment panels, pipe supports, junction enclosures, and bracket assemblies. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread engages quickly and provides strong pullout resistance in standard tapped holes and threaded inserts. Minimum order quantity is 10 units per order, with individual package quantity of 1.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for high corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1-1/2 inch length under head accommodates typical bracket and panel stack-ups
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys or socket bits
• Socket cap head style provides a compact, low-profile footprint in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 1-1/2 inch length under head fastener with a 5/16 inch hex drive in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/16 inch hex key or socket bit driver. Verify that the mating threaded hole or nut matches the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before installation. Inspect threads on both the fastener and the receiving hole for damage or contamination prior to assembly. Power down or de-energize any electrical equipment before accessing fastener locations on live panels or enclosures.
