Value Collection 95632 Button Socket Cap Screw 5/16-18 X 3 in SS316

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 95632 is a button socket cap screw designed for mechanical fastening applications where a low-profile head and corrosion resistance are required. Threaded 5/16-18 UNC with a full-thread length of 3 inches under the head, this screw is driven by a 3/16-inch hex socket. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel with a bright, uncoated finish, making it suitable for environments where moisture, chemicals, or marine exposure are concerns. The thread fit class is 3A, meeting ANSI/ASME B18.3 standards. Each package contains 5 pieces.

This screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical enclosure hardware, and general mechanical assemblies. The button head profile is preferred where a flat, rounded head is needed to avoid snagging or to fit recessed mounting surfaces. It is installed by mechanics, millwrights, HVAC technicians, and plumbers working on equipment panels, brackets, and structural components.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet or chemically exposed environments
• 5/16-18 UNC thread standard with 3A fit class for reliable engagement
• Full 3-inch thread length under head for deep fastening applications
• 3/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard Allen keys or hex bit drivers
• Button head profile at 0.166 inches high reduces snag risk and suits flush-mount assemblies
• Bright, uncoated finish — no coating to chip, flake, or contaminate contact surfaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard hardware component for mechanical assemblies requiring a 5/16-18 UNC button socket cap screw with a 3-inch grip length in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a 3/16-inch hex key or hex socket bit; ensure the driver is fully seated before applying torque to avoid cam-out and head damage. Power down and de-energize any equipment before replacing fasteners on electrical enclosures or live panels. Inspect mating threads for corrosion or cross-threading before installation, particularly in stainless-to-stainless applications where galling is possible — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to reduce galling risk. Follow applicable ANSI/ASME B18.3 torque guidelines for the material and application.
