Value Collection MP92338 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MP92338 is a 3/8-16 UNC hex head cap screw manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel. It measures 1-1/2 inches under the head with a 9/16-inch hex drive. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance suitable for general industrial, mechanical, and trade applications. This fastener uses Unified National Coarse threading and is driven with a standard hex wrench or socket. It is commonly installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors wherever a corrosion-resistant threaded fastener is required in a standard inch-measurement assembly.

This cap screw is suited for light- to medium-duty fastening in residential and commercial environments. The UNC thread form is the most widely used coarse thread standard in inch-based mechanical assemblies, making this screw a direct fit in tapped holes or with standard 3/8-16 hex nuts. Typical applications include equipment brackets, access panels, pipe hangers, electrical enclosures, and mechanical component mounting where stainless steel is preferred over zinc or plain steel hardware.

Key Features

• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion and oxidation resistance
• 3/8-16 UNC thread form for broad compatibility with inch-standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1-1/2 inch length under head for standard fastening depth
• 9/16-inch hex head drive for use with common wrenches and sockets
• Inch measurement system for compatibility with standard trade hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use in any application requiring a 3/8-16 UNC inch-standard hex head cap screw in 18-8 stainless steel. Compatible with standard 3/8-16 hex nuts, washers, and pre-tapped assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install using a 9/16-inch wrench or socket driver. Ensure the mating thread or nut is also rated for 3/8-16 UNC before installation. Stainless steel fasteners can be prone to galling during installation — apply an appropriate anti-seize compound when torquing into stainless or aluminum threads. Power down or de-energize any equipment before accessing fastened assemblies in electrical or HVAC installations.
