Manufactured from 4037 alloy steel with a yellow cadmium-plated finish, this fastener delivers solid corrosion resistance and reliable clamping force in demanding environments. The screw features a 3\/8-16 UNC thread size, a 3\/4-inch length under head, and is fully threaded from head to tip, allowing engagement along the entire shank. Drive is accomplished with a 5\/16-inch hex key. This fastener meets ASME B18.3 dimensional standards and is appropriate for use by maintenance technicians, millwrights, and industrial tradespeople requiring a dependable, specification-grade socket cap screw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis screw is suited for general mechanical assemblies, equipment maintenance, and structural fastening tasks where a recessed hex drive is preferred for torque control and flush or countersunk head seating. The fully threaded design makes it particularly useful in through-hole and tapped-hole applications where maximum thread engagement along the full grip length is required. The yellow cadmium plating provides a degree of corrosion and wear resistance appropriate for light industrial and indoor mechanical environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC thread size for standard inch-series tapped hole compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement in tapped holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4037 alloy steel construction for higher tensile strength compared to standard carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYellow cadmium-plated finish for corrosion and wear resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive for precise torque application with a standard hex key or Allen wrench\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ASME B18.3 dimensional standard for interchangeability and specification compliance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a specification-grade replacement or stocking fastener for any application requiring a 3\/8-16 UNC fully threaded hex socket cap screw conforming to ASME B18.3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed with a 5\/16-inch hex key or socket driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading the fastener. Apply appropriate thread lubricant or anti-seize compound as required by the assembly specification. Do not exceed the rated torque for the fastener grade and do not use an impact driver without a torque-limiting mechanism, as overdriving can damage the socket head or strip the tapped thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8-16 UNC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Under Head\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull or Partial Threading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fully Threaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hex Socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Alloy Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4037\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish Coating\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yellow Cadmium Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFastener Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASME B18.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MS16997-97\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51699996295474,"sku":"MS16997-97","price":143.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d5a87df559821747724c65aca9d17329_ea3c9408-5f90-4c8b-9f9c-fc980c0d8cf4.jpg?v=1788384741","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-ms16997-97-hex-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
