Value Collection 93113 Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93113 is a 3/8-16 button socket cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish. The low-profile button head accepts a 7/32 inch hex socket drive and provides a smooth, rounded top surface where a traditional hex or pan head would protrude. The screw measures 1-1/4 inches under the head and carries a 3A thread fit class to UNC standards. It meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener specifications. Machinists, millwrights, fabricators, and maintenance technicians use this fastener where flush or near-flush clearance is needed and corrosion resistance is a priority.

This fastener suits light to medium structural and mechanical assemblies in environments where moisture, mild chemicals, or outdoor exposure can cause carbon steel hardware to corrode. Typical applications include equipment panels, enclosure hardware, brackets, and fixtures in food service, marine-adjacent, and industrial settings. The 18-8 stainless alloy resists rust and is non-magnetic in most conditions, making it a common choice for instrumentation and electrical enclosure work. Minimum order quantity is 50 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread with right-hand direction and 3A fit class for consistent engagement
• Button head profile at 0.199 inches head height for low-clearance installations
• 7/32 inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen or hex key tooling
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or chemical-exposure environments
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or interfere with close tolerances
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC 3/8-16 button socket cap screw for use in any application requiring ANSI/ASME B18.3-compliant button head geometry and 18-8 stainless steel material.

Installation Notes

Install and torque with a properly sized 7/32 inch hex key or socket driver; an undersized or worn key risks rounding the drive recess. Apply anti-seize compound when threading stainless into stainless to prevent galling. Follow the fastener manufacturer torque recommendations for 3/8-16 stainless hardware based on joint material and preload requirements. Confirm thread engagement depth meets at least one full diameter of thread contact for the base material in use.
