Value Collection 97055 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 1-1/4 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97055 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening in mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish, this screw conforms to ASME B18.2.1 standards, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and tensile strength. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern and 1-1/4 inch length under head make it a common choice for through-bolt and tapped-hole assemblies encountered in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support structures, and general trade work. Sold in a pack of 100 units.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a standard inch-series UNC hex cap screw is required. Typical uses include equipment base mounting, bracket attachment, strut channel assembly, and structural steel connections. The fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the full length under the head, which is especially useful in thinner material stacks or shallow tapped holes where partial threading would leave insufficient engagement. Grade 5 steel provides adequate tensile strength for most general mechanical assemblies in trade environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for compatibility with standard inch-series tapped holes and nuts
• 1-1/4 inch length under head with fully threaded shank for maximum thread engagement
• Grade 5 steel construction meets minimum tensile strength requirements for general mechanical fastening
• Uncoated finish suitable for indoor use or where a coating will be applied after installation
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 for consistent head dimensions and thread tolerances
• Sold in a 100-count pack for job-site and shop stock replenishment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 inch Grade 5 fastener conforming to ASME B18.2.1.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench, socket, or open-end wrench sized for a 3/8 inch hex cap screw. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving. Torque to the value specified by the equipment manufacturer or applicable structural standard for Grade 5 fasteners at this diameter. Do not use uncoated fasteners in outdoor or corrosive environments without additional corrosion protection.
