Value Collection BDNA--92344-1 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA--92344-1 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for general fastening applications where corrosion resistance is a priority. Manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel with no additional coating, this fastener follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard at 3/8-16. The 3-1/4 inch length under head provides sufficient grip for moderate-depth assemblies. It is suited for use by maintenance technicians, plumbers, HVAC installers, and general tradespeople working with stainless-compatible hardware in equipment panels, brackets, or structural connections.

This screw is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications where standard carbon steel fasteners would be subject to rust or chemical attack. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting, enclosure assembly, and mechanical connections in humid or outdoor-adjacent environments. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is a widely used coarse-thread size, making it compatible with standard nuts, inserts, and tapped holes of the same specification.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance without a coating
• 3/8-16 UNC thread for broad compatibility with standard hardware
• Partially threaded shank allows for clamping force in bolted assemblies
• 3-1/4 inch length under head suits moderate-depth fastening applications
• Uncoated finish eliminates coating delamination concerns in wet environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw compatible with any tapped hole, hex nut, or threaded insert conforming to the 3/8-16 Unified National Coarse thread specification.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 3/8 inch hex head cap screw. De-energize and isolate any equipment before fastening near electrical or pressurized components. Do not mix stainless fasteners with carbon steel nuts or washers in corrosive environments, as galvanic action can occur. Torque to values appropriate for 18-8 stainless steel at this diameter per applicable mechanical or equipment specifications.
