Value Collection R40682482 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-16

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40682482 is a hex socket cap screw designed for high-strength fastening in applications where a recessed drive and a clean, low-profile head are required. The screw features a 3/8-16 UNC thread, a 7/8 inch length under head, and a 5/16 inch hex drive socket. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it offers solid corrosion resistance for use in wet, outdoor, or chemically exposed environments. This fastener is installed using a standard hex key or Allen-style driver. It is a common choice in mechanical assembly, equipment fabrication, and maintenance work across trade and industrial settings.

This hex socket cap screw is suited for mechanical and structural fastening tasks in HVAC equipment assemblies, plumbing fixture mounting, electrical panel and enclosure work, and general industrial fabrication. The 3/8-16 UNC coarse thread provides reliable grip in tapped steel, aluminum, and plastic housings. The stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for installations where moisture exposure or corrosion is a concern. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces.

Installation Notes

Install using a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen-style bit driver. Ensure the mating tapped hole is clean and free of debris before threading. Do not overtighten stainless steel fasteners, as galling can occur — applying an appropriate anti-seize compound is standard practice. Follow applicable fastener torque guidelines from your equipment manufacturer or relevant codes.
