Value Collection 837257PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 837257PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. Threaded 3/8-16 UNC and fully threaded along a 1-1/4 inch length under head, this screw accepts a 5/16 inch hex drive for installation with an Allen wrench or hex bit driver. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish meeting ASTM B695, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial and trade applications. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and general contractors commonly use this fastener when securing equipment panels, mechanical mounts, and structural brackets.

This screw is suited for residential and commercial applications where a recessed hex drive is preferred over a standard bolt head. Typical install scenarios include equipment assembly, machinery mounting, and fixture attachment where a flush or low-profile cap head is required. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pitch is a widely used coarse-thread standard compatible with standard tapped holes and threaded inserts of the same specification.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded along the 1-1/4 inch length under head for maximum grip
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for Allen wrench or hex bit installation
• Alloy steel construction for strength in demanding fastening applications
• Zinc-plated finish conforming to ASTM B695 for corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any tapped hole or threaded insert conforming to the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification.

Installation Notes

Install using a properly sized 5/16 inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening near electrical components. Follow applicable mechanical and building codes for fastener selection and torque requirements specific to the application.
