Value Collection 93114 Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 93114 is a button head socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile fastening solution with a clean finished appearance. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 1.5-inch length under head, this fastener is driven by a 7/32-inch hex socket. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, it offers solid corrosion resistance in moderate-exposure environments. The 3A thread fit class ensures reliable engagement with standard UNC tapped holes. This screw meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 standards, making it appropriate for mechanical assemblies, equipment fabrication, and maintenance work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general industrial trades.

The 93114 is suited for residential and commercial maintenance, equipment panel assembly, and general mechanical fabrication where a flush or recessed fastener profile is needed. The button head geometry distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than a standard socket head cap screw, making it a practical choice for softer substrates or thin-material clamping. Right-hand thread direction follows standard convention for use with common tapping tools and installation hardware.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread with 3A fit class for reliable engagement in standard tapped holes
• 1.5-inch length under head suits moderate-depth through-bolt and tapped applications
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard allen keys and socket drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance for indoor and mild outdoor use
• Button head profile offers low clearance height of 0.199 inches for space-constrained assemblies
• Meets ANSI/ASME B18.3 and ASTM F837 fastener standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNC replacement or stock fastener for 3/8-16 tapped holes in mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, and fabricated components requiring an 18-8 stainless steel button head cap screw per ANSI/ASME B18.3.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 7/32-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut meets UNC 3B thread class for proper fit and engagement. Verify thread length and clearance before final assembly. As with all stainless steel fasteners, apply anti-seize compound when threading into stainless tapped holes to prevent galling during installation or removal.
