Featuring a 3\/16-inch hex socket drive and an 82-degree flat head geometry, this screw seats flush with or below the mating surface once fully driven. It is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, which provides strong resistance to corrosion and pitting in wet, chemical, or marine environments. At 5\/16-18 UNC threading and 3 inches in overall length, it suits medium-duty structural and mechanical assemblies across plumbing, HVAC, pool equipment, and general industrial fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fastener is well suited for installations in corrosive or high-moisture environments where standard carbon steel hardware would fail prematurely. Common applications include pipe hangers, equipment enclosures, pump housings, pool deck hardware, and marine-grade assemblies. The unified national coarse (UNC) thread standard ensures broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts in inch-based systems. Installation is handled by mechanical contractors, pipefitters, service technicians, or millwrights working with stainless hardware assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e82-degree flat head seats flush or countersunk for a low-profile fastening solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/16-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with standard Allen keys or hex bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion, pitting, and chloride attack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-18 UNC thread pattern for compatibility with standard inch-based tapped holes and nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3-inch overall length accommodates medium-depth fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct-fit replacement or standard fastener for any inch-based assembly requiring a 5\/16-18 UNC flat socket cap screw with a 3-inch overall length and 82-degree countersink angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a 3\/16-inch hex key or Allen-style driver bit; use of a torque wrench is recommended for structural connections to avoid stripping the socket or over-stressing the stainless threads. Ensure the mating hole is tapped or threaded to 5\/16-18 UNC specification before driving. When working with 316 stainless fasteners, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling, which is common with stainless-to-stainless contact. Power down or depressurize any system before accessing fastener locations on live equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNC (Unified National Coarse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 82-degree Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0054 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: C32424396\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51701915320626,"sku":"C32424396","price":1659.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/feada04e551195e71f01ed3fe4280fea_c5ccf308-474b-454a-b16e-ca526d59da10.jpg?v=1788406823","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-c32424396-flat-socket-cap-screw-5-16-18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
