Value Collection 97063 3/8-16 X 3-1/4 in Grade 5 Hex Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97063 is a hex head cap screw designed for general mechanical fastening in structural and industrial assemblies. It features a 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern and a 3-1/4 inch length under head with partial threading. Made from Grade 5 steel with no coating applied, this fastener meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. It is sold in a package of 50 and suits applications where a standard hex drive and reliable clamping load are required. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general contractors commonly specify Grade 5 hex cap screws for medium-duty structural connections.

This fastener is suited for residential and light commercial construction, equipment assembly, machinery maintenance, and general fabrication work. The 3/8-16 UNC thread size is one of the most common inch-series thread standards, making this screw compatible with a wide range of tapped holes, hex nuts, and threaded inserts manufactured to inch specifications. The uncoated finish is appropriate for interior or controlled-environment applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 3-1/4 inch length under head with partial threading for grip-zone clamping
• Grade 5 steel construction for medium-strength fastening requirements
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standard for hex head cap screws
• Uncoated finish suitable for dry or controlled indoor environments
• Sold in a 50-piece package to support job-site and shop inventory

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC inch-series hex nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes conforming to ASME dimensional specifications in general mechanical and structural assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists, millwrights, or general maintenance technicians using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Verify that mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Do not exceed the rated torque for Grade 5 fasteners at this thread size as specified by the applicable mechanical or structural code for the application. For outdoor or high-humidity environments, consider a coated or plated alternative to prevent corrosion.
