Value Collection C703135 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C703135 is a partially threaded hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening applications in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies. Manufactured from Grade 8 steel with no finish coating applied, this fastener delivers the elevated tensile strength required where standard Grade 5 hardware is insufficient. The 3/8-24 UNF thread profile provides fine-thread engagement for applications demanding precise torque control and vibration resistance. At 4-1/2 inches in length under head, it suits deeper through-bolt and clamped-joint configurations. Meets ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 dimensional and mechanical standards.

This cap screw is suited for use in equipment assembly, machinery maintenance, and structural fabrication where Grade 8 tensile ratings are specified. The fine 3/8-24 UNF thread makes it a common choice in automotive, agricultural, and industrial equipment repair where fine-thread fasteners are called out by OEM specs. Sold in packages of 25 units, making it practical for job-site stocking or fleet maintenance operations. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile and proof load ratings
• 3/8-24 UNF fine-thread profile for precise torque control and vibration resistance
• Partially threaded shank provides a bearing surface in clamped-joint applications
• Uncoated finish — suitable for applications where plating or coating is not required or will be applied post-installation
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 and SAE J429 standards for dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties
• Packaged in quantities of 25 for efficient shop or field use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension inch-series hex head cap screw per ASME B18.2.1, compatible with any 3/8-24 UNF tapped hole or nut requiring a Grade 8 fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation should follow standard torque specifications for 3/8-24 Grade 8 fasteners as published in engineering references or OEM service documentation — do not rely on improvised torque values. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve proper clamp load without yielding the fastener. Inspect mating threads for damage or contamination before installation. Uncoated fasteners installed in corrosive environments should be treated with an appropriate anti-corrosion compound or coating per the application requirement.
