Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40682463 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications where a flush or recessed head profile is required. Featuring a 3/8-16 UNC thread size and a 5/8-inch length under head, this fastener is driven with a 5/16-inch hex key. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. This screw is a standard choice for mechanical assemblies, equipment brackets, and structural connections where thread strength and material integrity are critical.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for use in a wide range of trade and industrial applications including HVAC equipment mounting, plumbing fixture assemblies, electrical panel fabrication, and general mechanical maintenance. The 3/8-16 UNC thread is a common coarse-thread standard, making this fastener compatible with tapped holes and threaded inserts across many equipment types. It is appropriate for both light commercial and residential service work where corrosion resistance is a priority.
