Value Collection MP39062 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16 X 3 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP39062 is a Grade 8 steel hex head cap screw sized 3/8-16 x 3 inches with a zinc yellow dichromate finish. It features a partially threaded shank conforming to ASME B18.2.1, the standard governing inch-series hex cap screws. Grade 8 steel provides high tensile strength suited for demanding fastening applications where fastener failure is not acceptable. The zinc yellow dichromate finish delivers corrosion resistance while providing a visual indicator of the Grade 8 classification. This fastener is installed by maintenance technicians, millwrights, pipefitters, and general trade professionals working across mechanical and structural assembly tasks.

This hex cap screw is used in general industrial, mechanical, and structural applications requiring a high-strength inch-series fastener. The 3/8-16 UNC thread and 3-inch length under the head make it a common choice for equipment assembly, bracket mounting, and mechanical joint fastening. The partial thread design allows the unthreaded shank to bear shear loads in close-tolerance applications. Sold in packages of 10 units, this fastener suits both single-repair and small-batch production needs.

Key Features

• Grade 8 steel construction for high tensile and proof load strength
• Zinc yellow dichromate finish provides corrosion resistance and identifies Grade 8 classification
• Partially threaded shank supports shear load bearing in close-tolerance joints
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with standard inch-series nuts and tapped holes
• Conforms to ASME B18.2.1 dimensional standards
• Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/8-16 UNC inch-series nuts, washers, and tapped holes in general industrial and mechanical assembly applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified technicians using a standard hex wrench or socket driver sized to the appropriate hex head across flats. Ensure mating threads are clean and free of debris before fastening. Always apply torque to Grade 8 fasteners using a calibrated torque wrench in accordance with the equipment manufacturer specifications and applicable standards. Inspect the thread engagement length to confirm adequate thread depth in the mating component before finalizing the joint.
