Value Collection 872263PR Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872263PR is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand reliable clamping force and precise torque delivery. Manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, this fastener features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and a 2-inch length under head. The 5/16-inch hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen wrench. Partial threading along the shank provides a bearing surface that helps maintain alignment in close-tolerance assemblies. This screw is used by mechanical contractors, millwrights, industrial maintenance technicians, and fabricators working on structural and mechanical assemblies.

This fastener is suited for general industrial, commercial, and maintenance applications where a socket-drive cap screw is required. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread engages quickly and holds well in steel, aluminum, and cast housings. The zinc plating provides a base level of corrosion protection appropriate for indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Alloy steel construction meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, making it a recognized fastener in mechanical and structural service.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for fast engagement and strong clamping force
• 2-inch length under head accommodates moderate stack depths
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for Allen key or hex bit installation
• Partially threaded shank provides a bearing surface for alignment in close-tolerance bores
• Zinc-plated alloy steel for strength and basic corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 dimensional and mechanical standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.8 or ASTM A574 compliant fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 5/16-inch hex key or socket hex bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies on live machinery. Follow applicable ASME or equipment-manufacturer torque specifications for 3/8-16 alloy steel fasteners to avoid over-torquing or thread stripping.
