Value Collection C9255 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 1-1/2 in 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION C9255 is a 3/8-16 partially threaded hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 5 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It measures 1.5 inches in length under the head and follows the Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread standard. Conforming to ASME B18.2.1, this fastener is suited for general mechanical assembly work where a recognized dimensional standard is required. The hex head drive allows installation with standard wrenches or sockets. The zinc plating provides a basic level of corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty outdoor applications. This item is sold in a package quantity of 50.

This cap screw is used in a wide range of mechanical, structural, and equipment assembly applications. It is appropriate for use in HVAC equipment frames, electrical enclosure assemblies, plumbing equipment mounts, and general trade fabrication work. The 3/8-16 coarse thread pattern is one of the most common fastener sizes in North American trade work, making this screw a standard choice for maintenance, repair, and installation tasks across multiple disciplines.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use with any application requiring ASME B18.2.1 compliant inch-series fasteners.

Installation Notes

Install using a standard hex wrench, open-end wrench, or socket set sized for a 3/8-inch grade 5 hex head. Always ensure the mating tapped hole or nut matches the 3/8-16 UNC thread specification before driving. Power down and de-energize any equipment before fastening into electrical enclosures or HVAC components. Do not exceed the recommended clamp load for Grade 5 fasteners in the applicable torque specification for the assembly.
