Value Collection KP44048 3/8-16 X 3 in Grade 8 Hex Cap Screw 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KP44048 is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw designed for high-strength fastening in demanding industrial and mechanical applications. Measuring 3/8-16 UNC thread by 3 inches under the head, this fastener is partially threaded and finished with a zinc plating for corrosion resistance. The Grade 8 rating indicates a high tensile strength classification suitable for structural and load-bearing connections. It meets ASTM A354 BD specifications, confirming its mechanical properties are third-party standardized. This screw is sold in a pack of 50 and is sized in the inch measurement system.

This fastener is used across a wide range of mechanical, industrial, and trade applications where a reliable high-strength bolted connection is required. Typical install scenarios include equipment mounting, machinery assembly, structural steel connections, and HVAC equipment frame fastening. The partially threaded shank provides a smooth bearing surface through the joined materials, which is advantageous in clamping applications. The 3/8-16 UNC thread pattern is one of the most common coarse-thread sizes encountered in North American trade work.

Key Features

• ASTM A354 BD certified for standardized mechanical property verification
• Partially threaded shank provides clean clamping surface through mated parts
• Zinc-plated finish provides basic corrosion resistance in dry and mildly humid environments
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread — one of the most widely used inch-standard thread sizes in trade applications
• Sold in a 50-count pack with a minimum order quantity of 1 pack

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 threaded fastener with a 3-inch grip length and Grade 8 minimum strength rating.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized for a 3/8-16 hex head cap screw. Ensure mating threads and bearing surfaces are clean and free of debris before assembly. Do not exceed the torque capacity of the joint material, and always use appropriate hardened washers when fastening into soft or painted surfaces. Follow applicable mechanical codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines for torque specifications.
