Value Collection 872269PS Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 872269PS is a partially threaded hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in structural and machine assemblies. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread and measures 2.75 inches in length under the head, driven by a 5/16-inch hex socket. Constructed from alloy steel with a zinc-plated finish, this fastener delivers solid tensile strength and basic corrosion resistance. It meets ASME B18.8 and ASTM A574 standards, making it appropriate for industrial, mechanical, and general trade applications. Typically installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals working on equipment assemblies, mounting structures, and mechanical enclosures.

This cap screw is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where a recessed-drive, high-strength fastener is required. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to act as a precise locating feature or shear pin in assemblies where alignment and load distribution matter. Minimum order quantity is 10 units; each package contains 1 screw.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• 2.75-inch length under head with partial threading for shank-located assemblies
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for T-handle, ratchet, or Allen key installation
• Alloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 high-strength socket screw standard
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion and oxidation resistance
• Conforms to ASME B18.8 dimensional standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-replacement hex socket cap screw for any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded fastener with a 5/16-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by hand-starting the screw into a properly tapped 3/8-16 UNC hole, then driving to final torque with a 5/16-inch hex key, T-handle, or socket-drive tool. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners on powered machinery, per OSHA lockout/tagout requirements. Do not substitute this screw in applications requiring a fully threaded fastener without confirming thread engagement is adequate for the load.
