Value Collection 88547823 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88547823 is a flat socket cap screw designed for applications where a flush or countersunk fastener profile is required. Sized at 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 inches overall length, it is partially threaded with a UNC thread standard. The hex socket drive accepts a 7/32-inch hex key for installation. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener delivers solid mechanical strength and moderate corrosion resistance in indoor or light-duty environments. It is installed by machinists, millwrights, fabricators, and maintenance technicians working on equipment assemblies, fixtures, and structural components.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for use in machinery, tooling fixtures, structural brackets, and equipment frames where the screw head must sit flush with or below the mating surface. The countersunk flat head design eliminates protrusion in assemblies with tight clearance or moving parts. The black oxide finish reduces light reflection and provides a degree of surface protection. It is a common fastener choice in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and general mechanical assembly work requiring UNC-threaded fasteners in the 3/8-inch range.

Key Features

• Flat countersunk head allows the fastener to sit flush with the mating surface
• Hex socket drive sized at 7/32 inches for precise torque application with a hex key
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes
• Partially threaded shank at 1-1/2 inches overall length
• Alloy steel construction provides high tensile strength for mechanical fastening applications
• Black oxide finish offers a clean appearance and moderate surface protection

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard inch-series tapped holes with 3/8-16 UNC threading, suitable for general industrial fastening and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or socket driver. The mating component must be drilled and countersunk to the correct flat-head angle to achieve proper flush seating. Ensure the tapped hole meets 3/8-16 UNC thread specifications before installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing fasteners on live machinery, following applicable safety procedures.
