Value Collection 837295PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24 Unf

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 837295PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for applications requiring precise, high-strength fastening in tight clearance areas. It features a 3/8-24 UNF thread form with a 1-1/2 inch length under the head and is fully threaded for maximum engagement. The screw is machined from alloy steel and finished with a zinc-plated coating for basic corrosion resistance. Drive engagement is via a 5/16 inch hex (Allen) socket. This fastener is commonly installed by maintenance technicians, machine builders, and fabricators working on mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, and structural fixtures where socket drive access is required.

This cap screw suits residential and commercial mechanical assemblies, industrial machinery, and equipment maintenance applications. The 3/8-24 UNF fine thread pitch provides stronger thread engagement and better resistance to loosening under vibration compared to coarse thread alternatives. It is appropriate for use in steel and ferrous metal assemblies where load capacity and thread accuracy are critical. The zinc-plated finish offers moderate protection in low-to-moderate moisture environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for high load capacity and vibration resistance
• 1-1/2 inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for use in confined or recessed installations
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile and shear strength
• Zinc-plated coating provides basic corrosion protection
• Meets ASTM B695 fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard hex socket cap screw for use in any 3/8-24 UNF threaded hole requiring a 1-1/2 inch under-head length and 5/16 inch hex drive. Suitable for ferrous metal assemblies in mechanical, HVAC, and industrial equipment applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 5/16 inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the receiving hole is properly tapped to 3/8-24 UNF specification before installing. Degrease and inspect mating threads prior to assembly to prevent galling or cross-threading. Power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing mechanical fasteners in live assemblies.
