Value Collection A997076 Button Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997076 is a button socket cap screw designed for applications requiring a low-profile head and secure hex socket drive. Sized at 3/8-24 (UNF thread) with a 2-inch length under the head, this fastener is fully threaded and accepts a 7/32-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers corrosion resistance suitable for indoor mechanical assemblies, machine guards, and panel mounting. Sold in packs of 50, it meets ASME, ANSI B18.3, and ASTM F835 standards, making it appropriate for general industrial and OEM fastening tasks.

This button head screw is suited for mechanical and light structural applications where a flush or near-flush fastener profile is required. The UNF thread pitch offers fine thread engagement, which is advantageous in thinner materials and applications where vibration resistance or precise torque control is a priority. Typical uses include equipment panels, machine enclosures, brackets, and similar assemblies found in manufacturing, HVAC fabrication, and general trade work.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF thread for fine thread engagement and vibration resistance
• 2-inch length under head, fully threaded for maximum thread engagement
• Low-profile button head design minimizes protrusion in finished assemblies
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive for standard Allen key installation
• Alloy steel construction with black oxide coating for corrosion resistance
• Meets ASME, ANSI B18.3, and ASTM F835 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF button socket cap screw for use in 3/8-24 tapped holes across general industrial, mechanical, and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a 7/32-inch hex key or Allen driver. Ensure the receiving hole is tapped to a 3/8-24 UNF thread specification before installation. Apply appropriate thread engagement and do not overtighten, as alloy steel fasteners in fine-thread applications can be sensitive to torque. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines when used in structural or load-bearing assemblies.
