Value Collection 88546817 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546817 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical assemblies, fixtures, and equipment. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread form with full threading along the 1-inch length under head. The 5/16-inch hex drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. The fastener is machined from alloy steel and finished with a black oxide coating, which provides a mild level of corrosion resistance and reduces surface reflectivity. This screw is a standard choice for maintenance technicians, millwrights, and trade professionals working on equipment frames, brackets, and mechanical sub-assemblies.

This screw is suited for use in general industrial and mechanical applications where a compact, recessed-drive fastener is required. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread engages quickly and holds well in steel and ductile iron tapped holes. Full threading along the entire shank makes it useful in through-hole and shallow-depth applications alike. It is commonly used in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosure hardware, pump and motor mounting, and similar trade-service contexts.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16-inch hex key or socket bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. De-energize and lock out all equipment before replacing fasteners on live machinery. Follow applicable torque specifications provided by the equipment manufacturer, as no torque value is specified for this fastener in the available product data.
