Value Collection 837263PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 837263PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for general industrial and mechanical fastening applications. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a 5/16-inch hex drive, accepting a standard Allen-type hex key for installation and removal. The 2-inch length under head accommodates moderate stack thicknesses, and the partial threading allows for precise clamping force in bolted joints. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers solid tensile strength alongside basic corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor use. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This cap screw is suited for bolting machinery components, jigs, fixtures, brackets, and structural assemblies where a recessed hex drive is preferred for torque control and a clean finished appearance. Partial threading provides a smooth shank section, making it appropriate for applications requiring a precise bearing surface or clearance fit through one layer of material. Minimum order quantity is 10 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 2-inch length under head suits moderate-depth clamping and assembly applications
• 5/16-inch hex drive accepts standard Allen hex keys and socket bit drivers
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface for clearance-fit joints
• Alloy steel construction offers higher tensile strength than standard carbon steel fasteners
• Zinc-plated finish meets ASTM B695 and provides basic corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-series partially threaded socket head fastener with a 2-inch length under head.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Power down and de-energize any equipment before fastener service on machinery. Do not exceed the rated torque for the fastener grade and thread size as specified by applicable ASME or industrial fastener standards.
