Value Collection 88547807 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547807 is a flat socket cap screw designed for applications where a flush or countersunk fastener profile is required. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC thread with an overall length of 1 inch, it is fully threaded and driven by a 7/32-inch hex socket. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this screw delivers solid mechanical strength while offering moderate corrosion resistance in indoor and protected environments. It is a standard fastener installed by machinists, millwrights, and general tradespeople in metal fabrication, mechanical assembly, and equipment maintenance work.

This flat socket cap screw suits applications where a low-profile, countersunk head must sit flush with or below the surface of the mating material. Typical installations include machine components, tooling fixtures, structural assemblies, and equipment panels where protruding fastener heads would interfere with clearance or aesthetics. The fully threaded 1-inch length accommodates thinner material stacks that require full thread engagement across the entire grip length.

Key Features

• Flat countersunk head profile sits flush with the mating surface
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form provides broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• Fully threaded across the 1-inch overall length for maximum engagement in thin sections
• Alloy steel construction for high tensile and shear strength
• Black oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and reduces light reflection

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw for use in any 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole requiring a countersunk fastener with a 7/32-inch hex socket drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, assemblers, or maintenance technicians using a 7/32-inch hex key or Allen-head bit driver. Always ensure the mating hole is properly countersunk to match the flat head angle before installing. De-energize and lock out any equipment before replacing fasteners in live machinery per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Do not over-torque alloy socket cap screws in blind holes without reference to a thread engagement and torque specification appropriate for the material being fastened.
