Value Collection 88546825 3/8-16 Socket Cap Screw 13-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546825 is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications across mechanical, structural, and industrial assembly work. Built from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener offers solid corrosion resistance and reduced light reflection in service environments. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern provides reliable engagement in standard inch-threaded components. The screw features a 5/16-inch hex drive socket and a 1-1/4-inch length under head. The fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement throughout the grip length. This SKU ships as a pack of 13 and is installed by millwrights, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and general trade professionals working with bolted assemblies.

This screw is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial fastening applications where a recessed hex drive is required for torque control and flush or below-surface installation. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread is widely used in steel, iron, and aluminum assemblies. The black oxide coating is appropriate for indoor or low-moisture environments where mild corrosion resistance is acceptable. Typical uses include equipment mounting, bracket installation, jig and fixture assembly, and general mechanical maintenance.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-threaded hardware

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw compatible with any tapped hole or hex-nut assembly conforming to ANSI inch-series thread specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16-inch hex key or socket bit driver. De-energize and isolate any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live machinery. Verify thread engagement depth in the receiving material before applying final torque. Black oxide fasteners are not recommended for outdoor or high-humidity environments without additional corrosion protection.
