Value Collection C703140 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 6 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C703140 is a hex head cap screw sized 3/8-16 x 6 inches, manufactured from Grade 8 steel with an uncoated finish. It features partial threading and conforms to ASME B18.2.1 standards, making it a reliable fastener for high-strength bolted connections. Grade 8 steel provides greater tensile strength than lower-grade fasteners, suitable for demanding structural and mechanical assemblies. Length is measured under the head. Licensed trades and maintenance professionals working with heavy equipment, structural steel, or industrial machinery will find this screw appropriate for applications requiring a proven standard fastener with documented material and thread specifications.

This screw is used in a wide range of commercial, industrial, and mechanical applications where a 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern and a 6-inch grip length are required. Partial threading is standard for longer fasteners where the unthreaded shank provides shear resistance in joint assemblies. It is commonly installed in metal-to-metal connections, equipment frames, and structural brackets across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile strength in demanding fastener applications
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size with partial threading along a 6-inch under-head length
• Uncoated finish suitable for use with added coatings or in dry interior applications
• Meets ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards for hex head cap screws
• Sold in a package quantity of 25 with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or stock fastener for applications requiring a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw at 6 inches in length, conforming to ASME B18.2.1 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed mechanics, millwrights, or trade professionals using standard hex wrench or socket tooling sized for a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw. Always ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before installation. Follow applicable fastener torque specifications from the equipment manufacturer or relevant code reference for Grade 8 hardware. Do not reuse fasteners that show signs of thread damage or deformation.
