Value Collection 92052 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16 Unc 10 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92052 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure, high-torque fastening in mechanical and structural assemblies. Threaded to 3/8-16 UNC, it features a 5/16-inch hex drive and a 1/2-inch length under the head. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, this screw provides solid corrosion resistance for indoor and outdoor service environments. It is a standard choice for maintenance technicians, millwrights, HVAC installers, and plumbing professionals who need reliable fasteners that hold up in moisture-prone or chemically active settings. Each package contains 10 screws.

This screw is well suited for light-duty to medium-duty mechanical assemblies in residential and commercial applications. Common install scenarios include equipment mounting brackets, panel attachment, pump and motor housings, and general trade service work where 3/8-inch coarse-thread fasteners are specified. The 5/16-inch hex drive accommodates standard hex keys and Allen-head sockets available in most field service kits. The 1/2-inch under-head length keeps the screw profile compact for shallow material stacks or close-clearance assemblies.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes
• 5/16-inch hex socket drive for torque application with Allen keys or hex bit sockets
• 1/2-inch length under head for compact, close-clearance fastening
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• Sold in a 10-pack quantity for service stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw suitable for general mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical equipment assemblies requiring coarse-thread stainless steel fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16-inch hex key or Allen-head bit socket. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Apply appropriate torque for stainless steel fasteners to avoid galling — do not overtighten, as 18-8 stainless can seize under excessive torque. Follow applicable mechanical and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque in the specific assembly.
