Value Collection 872259PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872259PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that require a clean, recessed drive and reliable clamping force. This screw features a 3/8-16 UNC thread size, a 1-1/2 inch length under head, and a 5/16 inch hex drive. It is fully threaded along its length and manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The zinc coating provides a basic barrier against oxidation in standard indoor and light-duty outdoor environments. This fastener is suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance applications across trade industries.

The 872259PR is appropriate for use in metal-to-metal fastening scenarios where socket drive access is required or preferred. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-thread specification compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts in that size. Fully threaded construction maximizes thread engagement across the full clamped length. Typical applications include HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosures, pump housings, plumbing fixtures, and general industrial assembly work. These screws are sold with a minimum order quantity of 100 units per order.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse-thread specification for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 1-1/2 inch length under head for moderate material stack fastening
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys and socket bit drivers
• Fully threaded along entire length for maximum thread engagement
• Alloy steel construction meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 fastener standards
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion protection for general-purpose environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw conforming to ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574, compatible with any tapped hole or nut matching the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16 inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving. Verify thread engagement depth is adequate for the load requirements of the assembly. Follow applicable fastener torque guidelines from the relevant equipment manufacturer or applicable industry standards for 3/8-16 alloy steel fasteners.
