Value Collection 92038 5/16-18 Unc Socket Cap Screw 25-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92038 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure mechanical fastening in light industrial, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical enclosure applications. The screw features a 5/16-18 UNC thread and a 3/8-inch length under head, driven by a 1/4-inch internal hex (Allen) drive. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener resists corrosion in wet and mildly corrosive environments, making it a practical choice for equipment panels, brackets, and mounting hardware. Each package contains 25 screws, supporting both single-unit repairs and small-run installations.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications where corrosion resistance and a clean, low-profile cap head are required. Common uses include securing control box panels, conduit support brackets, pump mounting hardware, and equipment access covers. The 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread pattern is widely compatible with standard tapped holes and hex nuts in trade equipment assemblies. The compact 3/8-inch under-head length makes this screw appropriate for shallow-clearance fastening situations.

Key Features

• 5/16-18 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and hardware
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• 1/4-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• 3/8-inch length under head suits shallow-clearance and panel-mounting applications
• Pack of 25 supports both single repairs and multi-fastener installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC coarse-thread hex socket cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a 5/16-18 threaded fastener with a 1/4-inch hex drive.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 1/4-inch hex key or hex bit driver. Ensure the mating threaded hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not overtighten, as stainless steel fasteners are susceptible to galling if driven at excessive speed or torque without lubrication. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer torque guidelines and relevant codes such as NEC or IPC when fastening electrical or plumbing components.
