Value Collection 97070 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 6 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 97070 is a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw designed for general industrial and mechanical fastening applications. It measures 6 inches in length under the head with a 3/8-16 UNC thread form and is partially threaded, making it well suited for clamping applications where an unthreaded shank provides a cleaner bearing surface. Manufactured from Grade 5 steel with no additional finish coating, it meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general contractors routinely install this fastener type across a broad range of structural and mechanical assemblies.

This fastener is commonly used in light-to-medium duty structural connections, equipment mounting, and mechanical assemblies where an inch-series UNC thread is specified. The partially threaded shank allows it to pass through clearance holes before engaging the mating thread, providing consistent clamping load. It is sold in a package quantity of 25 units, making it practical for shop inventory or small-batch repair work.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC inch-series thread form per ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standard
• 6-inch length under head with partial threading for controlled clamping engagement
• Grade 5 steel construction provides medium-strength performance suitable for general mechanical use
• Uncoated finish — no plating or coating that could affect thread fit tolerances
• Package quantity of 25 units supports bench stock and small-batch installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener with a 6-inch grip length and Grade 5 minimum mechanical properties.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic, millwright, or maintenance technician familiar with torque requirements for the specific joint application. Always verify the mating thread is clean and free of damage before assembly. Use a properly sized 9/16-inch hex wrench or socket; do not exceed the torque specification defined by the joint designer or equipment manufacturer. Inspect the fastener for thread damage or deformation before reuse.
