Value Collection MP30600 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16x4in 316SS

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP30600 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw with a 4-inch length under head, manufactured from Grade 316 stainless steel with an uncoated finish. This fastener features partial threading along the shank and is designed for general-purpose mechanical and structural assembly. Grade 316 stainless steel provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to Grade 304, making this screw well suited for wet, chemical, or marine-adjacent environments. Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

This hex head cap screw is used across a wide range of trade and industrial applications where corrosion resistance and reliable clamping strength are required. Typical applications include HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assembly, electrical enclosure fabrication, and general mechanical assembly in environments exposed to moisture or mild chemicals. The partial thread design allows for shoulder engagement with mating components before threads engage, which is useful in through-bolt and clearance-hole assembly scenarios.

Key Features

• Grade 316 stainless steel construction for superior corrosion resistance in wet or chemical environments
• 3/8-16 UNC thread size with 4-inch length under head for deep fastening applications
• Partial threading along the shank allows shoulder engagement in clearance-hole assemblies
• Uncoated finish — no risk of coating delamination in harsh service conditions
• Inch measurement system with UNC thread standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw suitable for use with any 3/8-16 tapped hole or matching nut in mechanical, structural, and equipment-mounting applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, or electrical tradespeople during equipment assembly or structural fastening tasks. De-energize and depressurize any equipment before fastening or removing hardware. Use a properly sized hex socket or wrench to avoid rounding the fastener head. When installing stainless steel fasteners, apply an anti-seize compound to the threads to prevent galling during tightening.
