Value Collection 92341 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 2-1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 92341 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Built to 18-8 stainless steel grade, it provides solid corrosion resistance in wet, outdoor, and chemically exposed environments. The fastener measures 3/8-16 thread size with a 2-1/4-inch length under head, following the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. The bright, uncoated finish leaves the stainless surface bare, making it a reliable choice where plating or coating would be unsuitable. Mechanical contractors, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and electricians commonly use this size in equipment mounting and panel assembly work.

This screw suits a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC unit mounting, plumbing fixture attachment, electrical enclosure assembly, and general equipment fastening. The partial threading provides a smooth shank section beneath the head, which helps align mating components and distributes clamping load more evenly across the joint. It is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial settings wherever a corrosion-resistant UNC fastener of this size is specified.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and outdoor environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 2-1/4-inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Partially threaded shank aids component alignment and improves clamping performance
• Bright, uncoated finish retains natural stainless surface properties
• Inch measurement system; hex drive accepts standard hex wrenches and sockets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use with 3/8-16 tapped holes, hex nuts, and threaded inserts conforming to inch-system thread standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical tradespeople using a standard hex wrench, socket wrench, or ratchet. Verify that the mating thread is 3/8-16 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound when fastening stainless steel to stainless steel to prevent galling. Always follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for fastener torque and joint requirements.
