Value Collection A997210 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 25 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION A997210 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications in trade and industrial environments. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance and is suited for wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed installations. The screw measures 3/8-16 thread size with a 1.5-inch length under head, conforming to Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standards. Each package contains 25 screws, making it practical for stocking service vans or job-site supply. HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical contractors rely on this thread size for equipment mounting, bracket fastening, and structural assemblies.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance. Common uses include securing HVAC equipment panels, plumbing fixture brackets, electrical enclosures, and pool equipment mounting hardware. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is one of the most widely used coarse-thread sizes in trade work, compatible with standard 3/8-16 nuts, threaded inserts, and tapped holes found across a broad range of mechanical and structural components.
