Manufactured from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this cap screw measures 2.5 inches in length under the head and uses a 5\/16-inch hex drive. The 3\/8-16 UNC thread is partially threaded, making it suited for clamping and pull-down applications where thread engagement needs to be controlled. Machinists, millwrights, fabricators, and maintenance technicians install this type of fastener in machine assemblies, fixtures, and equipment frames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap screw is commonly used in industrial and commercial assembly environments where a socket drive is preferred over external hex fasteners. The partially threaded shank provides a bearing surface that helps align mating components before full clamping load is applied. The zinc coating offers a baseline level of corrosion resistance for use in dry to mildly humid indoor service conditions. Typical applications include machine guarding, fixture building, conveyor frames, and general mechanical assembly work where 3\/8-16 UNC thread is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread for reliable engagement in standard inch-series tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.5-inch length under head with partial threading for controlled clamp load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and socket bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 fastener standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance in dry indoor environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.09 pounds per piece — lightweight for bulk handling in production environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style and general-use replacement socket cap screw for applications specifying 3\/8-16 UNC partially threaded alloy steel hex socket fasteners per ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a 5\/16-inch hex key or Allen-type socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean, free of debris, and cut to the correct 3\/8-16 UNC thread specification before assembly. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or thread-locking compound per the equipment manufacturer's guidance. Never use an extension or cheater bar on the hex key beyond what is appropriate for the fastener grade, as over-torquing alloy steel socket cap screws can cause thread stripping or fastener failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partially Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Zinc-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161501\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 872267PS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721798549810,"sku":"872267PS","price":1559.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ef6720c757834135ee8af4c7b0630447_fc2e194b-a178-4c52-9060-bdcfb1d13cd7.jpg?v=1788581050","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-872267ps-hex-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16-unc","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
