Value Collection R34444894 Hex Head Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R34444894 is a fully threaded hex head cap screw designed for general-purpose fastening applications across mechanical, structural, and industrial assembly work. Sized at 3/8-16 UNC thread with a 3-1/2 inch length under head, this fastener is manufactured from 18-8 stainless steel and left uncoated with a bright finish. The 18-8 alloy provides solid corrosion resistance in moderately aggressive environments, making it a practical choice where carbon steel would be prone to rust. Installation requires a standard hex wrench or socket driver. Typical end users include maintenance technicians, pipefitters, millwrights, and mechanical contractors working on equipment assemblies, brackets, and structural connections.

This cap screw is suited for use in HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing support assemblies, pump and motor brackets, and general trade service work where stainless fasteners are specified. The UNC thread form is the standard inch-series coarse thread, compatible with matching 3/8-16 nuts and tapped holes across a wide range of equipment and structural applications. The fully threaded shank allows engagement along the entire length, which is useful in through-bolting and thin-material applications. This SKU ships in a minimum order quantity of 50 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard inch-series hardware
• 3-1/2 inch length under head suits deeper through-bolting and stacked-material assemblies
• Fully threaded shank provides maximum thread engagement across the entire fastener length
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in moisture-prone environments
• Bright uncoated finish maintains dimensional accuracy and thread fit without coating buildup
• Minimum order quantity of 50 pieces supports bulk service and maintenance stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series hex head cap screw for use with any 3/8-16 UNC tapped hole, nut, or threaded insert in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed with a standard hex socket or open-end wrench sized for a 3/8-inch hex head cap screw. Confirm the mating thread is 3/8-16 UNC before installation to avoid cross-threading. In stainless-to-stainless assemblies, apply an appropriate anti-seize compound to prevent galling during torque-up. De-energize or lock out any equipment before accessing fastener locations on live mechanical systems.
