It features a 3\/8-16 UNC thread size and a 5\/16-inch hex drive, requiring an Allen wrench or hex key for installation. The screw measures 1-3\/4 inches in length under the head and is partially threaded. Constructed from alloy steel with a black oxide finish, this fastener resists corrosion and handles demanding load conditions. It conforms to ASME B18.3 and ASTM A574 standards. Sold in a package of 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cap screw is suited for use in industrial machinery, HVAC equipment mounting, structural brackets, and general mechanical assembly where a recessed-drive, high-strength fastener is required. The black oxide coating provides mild corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for indoor and protected outdoor installations. Trades including HVAC technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and general contractors commonly use this fastener type when assembling or securing equipment to frames, panels, and support structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread size for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive accepts standard Allen wrenches and hex-key bits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-3\/4-inch length under head with partial threading for clamping grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlloy steel construction meets ASTM A574 high-strength fastener requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack oxide finish provides mild corrosion resistance and low-glare appearance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConforms to ASME B18.3 dimensional standards\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 alloy steel fastener with a 5\/16-inch hex drive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a calibrated torque wrench with a 5\/16-inch hex bit to avoid stripping the socket or over-stressing the threads.
