This screw features a 3\/8-16 UNC thread and measures 2-3\/4 inches in length under the head, making it suited for medium-duty clamping and assembly work. The 5\/16-inch hex drive accepts a standard Allen key or hex bit driver. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, the fastener offers good corrosion resistance for use in wet, humid, or mildly corrosive environments. Licensed trades and general contractors use these in equipment mounting, panel assembly, and structural fastening tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis hex socket cap screw is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and mechanical assembly settings where a flush or recessed fastener is preferred over an external hex head. The 3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread engages quickly during installation and holds well in metal, fiberglass, and other tapped materials. The 18-8 stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice for outdoor enclosures, food-grade equipment frames, HVAC brackets, and plumbing support structures where standard carbon steel fasteners would corrode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-16 UNC coarse thread for fast engagement in tapped metal and structural components\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-3\/4 inch length under head accommodates moderate material stack heights\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/16-inch hex socket drive compatible with standard Allen keys and hex bit drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-8 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-profile socket cap head keeps fastener flush with or below the work surface\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 suitable for use in any tapped hole or nut conforming to 3\/8-16 UNC thread specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall using a 5\/16-inch hex key or bit driver. Verify the receiving thread is clean and properly tapped to 3\/8-16 UNC before driving the fastener. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as 18-8 alloy is susceptible to galling; apply an anti-seize compound when torquing into stainless or aluminum tapped holes. Follow applicable mechanical or structural codes for fastener torque and joint requirements.\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: 2-3\/4 inches\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: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.09 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31161501\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: R40682232\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695725609266,"sku":"R40682232","price":6866.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e266ab5b43c5b2ed0ec476db71366336.jpg?v=1788337790","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-r40682232-hex-socket-cap-screw-3-8-16","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
