Value Collection 88546833 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88546833 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications requiring a recessed drive and high clamping strength. This screw features a 3/8-16 UNC thread size with a 1-1/2 inch length under head and is partially threaded for reliable engagement in tapped holes. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide coating, it resists corrosion and blends well in finished assemblies. The 5/16 inch hex drive accepts a standard hex key or Allen driver. Sold in a package of 13, this fastener suits mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, and general industrial or trade use.

This socket cap screw is a standard hardware item used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications, including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture installation, electrical enclosure assembly, and general mechanical work. The partially threaded shank is appropriate for through-bolt or tapped-hole configurations where thread engagement is needed only at the end of the fastener. The black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and low-moisture environments.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole meets the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before installation. Do not overtighten, as alloy steel fasteners in softer base materials may strip threads. Follow applicable mechanical assembly standards and torque guidelines specific to the joint material and application.
