Threaded 3\/8-16 UNC and measuring 1-1\/2 inches in length under the head, this screw is fully threaded and driven with a 5\/16-inch hex key. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, it delivers solid corrosion resistance and surface hardness suited to demanding service environments. Each package contains 25 screws, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple fasteners. This fastener meets ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards, confirming consistent dimensional and strength compliance for professional use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is well suited to mechanical assembly, equipment mounting, and structural fastening tasks in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trade work. The 3\/8-16 UNC thread is a common coarse-thread specification found across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous assemblies. The black oxide alloy steel construction is appropriate for indoor and protected outdoor environments where moderate corrosion resistance is required. Installers working on equipment panels, brackets, and mounting structures will find this size and thread pitch a standard fit for many production and service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC fully threaded for maximum thread engagement along the full shank length\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-1\/2 inch length under head suits medium-depth fastening applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and socket drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 strength requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide coating provides surface protection and reduces light reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompliant with ASME B18.3 dimensional standards for socket cap screws\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a 25-piece package for multi-fastener jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard 3\/8-16 UNC hex socket cap screw for use in any application requiring an ASME B18.3 or ASTM A574 compliant fastener of this thread size, drive type, and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed using a 5\/16-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole or nut is clean and free of debris before driving the screw. Do not over-torque alloy steel cap screws in soft or thin base materials.
