Value Collection 88548292 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 88548292 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw measuring 1-3/4 inches under the head, manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It is partially threaded, which helps draw mating surfaces together under the fastener head for secure clamping. This screw is a standard inch-series fastener used across mechanical assembly, structural bracketing, and equipment installation work in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general trade applications. Each package contains 50 screws and carries a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

This fastener suits a wide range of residential and commercial trade installations where a medium-strength, corrosion-resistant hex head cap screw is required. Typical applications include mounting equipment frames, securing structural brackets, and assembling mechanical components where a 3/8-16 UNC thread is specified. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and moderately protected outdoor environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread form in standard inch-series sizing
• 1-3/4 inch length under head for medium-depth fastening applications
• Grade 5 steel for mid-range tensile strength in mechanical assemblies
• Zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance in typical trade environments
• Partially threaded shank promotes accurate clamping and alignment
• Sold in a 50-piece package for job-site and shop inventory convenience

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC inch-series hex head cap screw compatible with any application calling for a Grade 5 partially threaded fastener in that thread size and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket in the appropriate drive size for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before fastening. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable code for the assembly being serviced. Do not substitute Grade 5 fasteners in applications that specify a higher-grade fastener without verifying load requirements.
