Value Collection 97057 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 1-3/4 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97057 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with an uncoated finish, this fastener measures 1-3/4 inches under the head and features partial threading along its shank. It conforms to ASME B18.2.1 standards, ensuring dimensional consistency for use in production, maintenance, and repair work. The coarse UNC thread pattern provides reliable clamping force across a wide range of materials. This item is sold in a package quantity of 100, making it suitable for shop stock, job-site use, or production line inventory.

This hex head cap screw is used wherever a standard inch-series fastener is required in light to medium structural assemblies, machinery, equipment frames, and fabrication work. The partially threaded shank allows for a smooth bearing surface against clamped materials, which is preferred in bolted joint applications where shank engagement in the grip is required. Typical installers include millwrights, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and general contractors working across industrial and commercial settings.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• 1-3/4 inch length under head for medium-depth clamping applications
• Grade 5 steel construction meets minimum tensile strength requirements for medium-duty fastening
• Partially threaded shank provides a smooth grip section for precise joint alignment
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for consistent fitment
• Sold in a pack of 100 for shop stock and production use

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC inch-series nuts, washers, and tapped components in general mechanical and structural fastening applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed using a standard hex wrench, socket, or open-end wrench sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not exceed the rated torque for Grade 5 fasteners as specified by applicable engineering standards or equipment manufacturer guidelines. Follow applicable codes such as ASME or AISC specifications where structural fastening requirements apply.
