Value Collection 701180PR Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 701180PR is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head with reliable high-strength clamping. It is fully threaded with a 3/8-16 UNC thread form and measures 2-3/4 inches under the head. The alloy steel construction is finished with a black oxide coating that provides moderate corrosion resistance and a clean, uniform appearance. It is driven by a 7/32-inch hex socket. This fastener meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 standards, making it appropriate for precision mechanical assemblies, machine guarding, and structural panel attachment in industrial and manufacturing environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers.

This button socket cap screw is suited for residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a low-profile head is needed to clear adjacent components or provide a flush, recket-free surface. The 3/8-16 thread pitch is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes used in fabrication, equipment assembly, and repair work. Its fully threaded length allows engagement along the full 2-3/4-inch shank, which is useful when threading into blind holes or joining two threaded members without a shoulder requirement.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread, Thread Fit Class 3A for precise fit and reliable engagement
• 2-3/4-inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction with hardness rated at 36-43 HRC
• Black oxide finish for moderate corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for torque application with standard hex keys or socket bits
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835 dimensional and mechanical standards
• Right-hand thread direction, standard orientation for general mechanical use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC button socket cap screw conforming to ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F835, suitable for use in any application specifying that thread size and fastener standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a 7/32-inch hex key or socket driver. Always ensure the mating threaded hole or nut meets the 3/8-16 UNC specification and Thread Fit Class 3A before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners in powered assemblies. Do not use impact tools at full power on alloy socket cap screws without verifying torque requirements against the joint design.
