Value Collection C32424923 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C32424923 is a flat socket cap screw designed for fastening applications where a flush or countersunk head profile is required. It features a 7/32-inch hex socket drive and an 82-degree flat head geometry, allowing the head to sit flush with or below the surface of the mated material. The fastener is manufactured from 316 stainless steel, which provides strong resistance to corrosion and oxidation in wet, marine, and chemical-exposure environments. Thread size is 3/8-16 UNC with an overall length of 3/4 inches. Machinists, pipefitters, millwrights, and maintenance technicians commonly specify this fastener where standard cap screw heads would protrude unacceptably.

This flat socket cap screw is suited for use in plumbing assemblies, marine hardware, food-processing equipment frames, pool and spa mechanical enclosures, and general industrial fixtures where corrosion resistance is a priority. The UNC thread form is compatible with standard inch-system tapped holes at 3/8-16 thread pitch. It is sold in minimum order quantities of 5 pieces, with each package containing 1 piece.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head seats flush in standard countersunk holes, eliminating head protrusion
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen or hex key tooling
• 316 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in marine, chemical, and wet service environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread conforms to Unified National Coarse inch-standard thread pitch
• Overall length of 3/4 inches suits shallow to medium-depth fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as an inch-system fastener for use in any standard 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole requiring a countersunk flat-head profile. Suitable for assemblies specifying 316 stainless hardware per corrosion-resistance or sanitary requirements.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated 7/32-inch hex key or Allen driver to avoid rounding the socket. The mating hole should be countersunk to 82 degrees to achieve a flush seating surface. Verify thread engagement depth and apply thread-locking compound or anti-seize as appropriate for the service environment. De-energize, depressurize, or drain any system before replacing fasteners on live mechanical assemblies.
