Value Collection 97060 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 2-1/2 in Grade 5

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97060 is a Grade 5 steel hex head cap screw designed for general industrial and mechanical fastening applications. Sized at 3/8-16 thread with a 2-1/2 inch length under head, this partially threaded fastener conforms to ASME B18.2.1 standards and uses a Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread form. The uncoated finish suits bare-metal installations where coating compatibility or post-installation treatment is handled separately. Licensed tradespeople and maintenance technicians working with structural assemblies, equipment frames, and mechanical connections will find this a dependable standard fastener for high-load applications.

This fastener is suited for use in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings wherever a 3/8-16 UNC partially threaded hex cap screw is specified. Common applications include machinery assembly, structural bracketing, equipment mounting, and general mechanical repair work. The partial threading allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads while the threaded section provides secure clamping force. Sold in a 50-count package, this SKU is practical for service vehicles, shop stock, and job-site replenishment.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket set sized for a 3/8-16 fastener. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Torque to the specification called out in the applicable equipment manual or engineering drawing — do not assume a standard value without consulting the relevant spec. Follow applicable mechanical codes and safety lockout/tagout procedures when fastening components on powered equipment.
