Value Collection 92053 3/8-16 Unc Socket Cap Screw 10-pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92053 is a hex socket cap screw designed for fastening applications that demand a clean, recessed drive profile. Threaded 3/8-16 UNC with a length under head of 5/8 inches, this fastener accepts a 5/16 inch hex (Allen) drive and is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel for corrosion resistance. The cylindrical head style allows flush or near-flush installation in counterbored holes. Each package contains 10 screws. These fasteners are suited for mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, HVAC brackets, pump housings, and general industrial hardware where a standard coarse-thread socket cap is specified.

Hex socket cap screws in 3/8-16 UNC are a common fastener size across commercial and residential mechanical systems. The 18-8 stainless steel grade is appropriate for mildly corrosive environments including outdoor equipment enclosures, wet mechanical rooms, and pool or irrigation equipment installations. The 5/8 inch under-head length is typical for light-duty clamping applications through sheet metal flanges, brackets, or panels. These are installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general mechanical contractors using a standard hex key or T-handle Allen wrench.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for strong thread engagement in standard tapped holes
• 5/8 inch length under head for light-duty clamping and bracket fastening
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen or hex key tools

Installation Notes

Use a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen wrench to drive and torque these screws. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before installation. When installing in stainless steel tapped holes, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling. Follow applicable mechanical or electrical codes for fastener torque requirements specific to your equipment assembly.
