Value Collection MP63876 Flat Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP63876 is a flat socket cap screw designed for flush or countersunk fastening applications in metal, wood, and composite assemblies. It features a 7/32-inch hex socket drive and an 82-degree flat head profile that sits flush with or below the mating surface when installed in a properly countersunk hole. The fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel, which provides corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor service environments. The thread specification is 3/8-16 UNC with an overall length of 1 inch. Machinists, millwrights, maintenance technicians, and general contractors typically install this type of fastener.

This flat socket cap screw is used across a wide range of light and medium-duty assembly applications where a protruding head is not acceptable. Common scenarios include panel mounting, equipment enclosures, brackets, and structural assemblies requiring a clean finished surface. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a standard coarse-thread size widely used in general fabrication and mechanical assembly work. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact, including HVAC equipment enclosures, plumbing fixtures, and pool equipment frames.

Key Features

• 82-degree flat head profile seats flush in standard countersunk holes
• 7/32-inch hex socket drive accepts standard hex keys and socket bits
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or outdoor environments
• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1-inch overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series flat socket cap screw for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC threaded fastener with an 82-degree countersunk flat head. Minimum order quantity is 25 pieces.

Installation Notes

A qualified technician or machinist should install this fastener using a properly sized 7/32-inch hex key or socket driver. Before installation, ensure the mating hole is countersunk to an 82-degree included angle to achieve full flush seating. Power down or de-energize any equipment being serviced before fastening or removing hardware. Do not exceed the rated torque range for 3/8-16 stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 stainless is prone to galling if driven too aggressively without lubrication.
