Value Collection KP44042 Hex Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 1-1/2 in Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP44042 is a 3/8-16 x 1-1/2 inch hex head cap screw manufactured from Grade 8 steel with a zinc-plated finish. It features partial threading along the shank and conforms to ASTM A354 BD standards, making it suitable for high-strength fastening applications. The hex drive head accepts standard wrenches and sockets for reliable torque transfer. This screw is sold in a package of 100 pieces, making it practical for contractors, maintenance crews, and trades professionals who need a reliable supply of high-strength fasteners on hand for structural and mechanical assemblies.

This fastener is suited for use in mechanical, structural, and industrial assemblies where high clamping force and shear resistance are required. Grade 8 steel provides significantly greater tensile strength than standard Grade 2 or Grade 5 fasteners, making it appropriate for demanding applications in HVAC equipment mounting, electrical panel and conduit support brackets, plumbing system hangers, and general mechanical assemblies. The zinc plating provides a baseline level of corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid indoor environments.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC thread size with 1-1/2 inch length under head
• Grade 8 steel construction meets ASTM A354 BD specification for high-strength fastener applications
• Partially threaded shank allows for a stronger grip in through-bolt and clearance-hole applications
• Zinc-plated finish provides corrosion resistance for indoor and light-duty applications
• Hex head design accepts standard 9/16-inch wrenches and sockets
• Sold in a 100-piece package for job-site and shop inventory use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw for use in any application requiring an inch-system partially threaded fastener with a 1-1/2 inch grip length and Grade 8 strength rating.

Installation Notes

Installation should follow applicable mechanical and structural fastening codes for the trade and jurisdiction. Power down or de-energize any equipment before fastening or removing hardware in electrical or HVAC assemblies. Use the correct 9/16-inch wrench or socket to avoid rounding the hex head. Do not substitute Grade 8 fasteners in applications specifying a different grade without verifying load requirements with an engineer or project specification.
