Value Collection 95640 Button Cap Screw 3/8-16 2.5in 316 Ss 5pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 95640 is a fully threaded button socket cap screw designed for mechanical assemblies where a low-profile head and high corrosion resistance are required. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread, a 2.5-inch length under head, and a hex socket drive sized at 7/32 inches. The button head style distributes clamping load over a wider bearing surface than a standard cap screw head. Constructed from 316 stainless steel with a bright uncoated finish, this fastener resists corrosion in wet, marine, and chemical environments. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance mechanics install this type of fastener in structural, enclosure, and equipment-mounting applications.

This fastener is suited for use in marine hardware, food-processing equipment, chemical handling assemblies, and general industrial applications where 316 stainless steel is specified for superior chloride and oxidation resistance. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the full length of the fastener, making it appropriate for thinner material assemblies and applications requiring maximum thread engagement. Each order ships in a quantity of 5 fasteners. The package quantity is 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides strong resistance to chloride corrosion and oxidation
• Button head profile offers a low-profile, wide-bearing clamping surface
• Fully threaded shank maximizes thread engagement across the full fastener length
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for standard hex key or socket bit installation
• Right-hand, Class 3A UNC thread fit per ANSI/ASME B18.3
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional precision and clean appearance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ANSI/ASME B18.3 button socket cap screw for use in any application calling for a 3/8-16 UNC fully threaded button head fastener in 316 stainless steel.

Installation Notes

Install and remove using a 7/32-inch hex key or matching socket bit driver. De-energize and lock out any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live assemblies. Apply an anti-seize compound rated for stainless steel to prevent thread galling, which is a common failure mode with 316 stainless fasteners under torque. Follow applicable ANSI/ASME or equipment manufacturer torque guidance for 3/8-16 fasteners in the joint material being used.
