Value Collection R40692124 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40692124 is a hex socket cap screw designed for threaded fastening applications requiring corrosion-resistant hardware. Machined to 3/8-24 UNF thread specifications with a 1-1/4 inch length under head, this fastener is driven with a 5/16 inch hex key. The 18-8 stainless steel construction provides solid resistance to rust and oxidation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians commonly specify this grade for equipment assemblies, pipe brackets, panel mounting, and structural connections where fastener integrity under torque is critical.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where a UNF fine-thread pattern is required for tighter thread engagement and greater resistance to loosening under vibration. Typical install scenarios include HVAC equipment panels, plumbing bracket assemblies, electrical enclosures, and general mechanical assemblies. The fine-thread 3/8-24 UNF profile is preferred in applications where the mating material is thin or where precise torque control is needed. Sold individually per package with a minimum order quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine-thread profile for high thread engagement and vibration resistance
• 1-1/4 inch length under head suits standard bracket and panel fastening depths
• 5/16 inch hex socket drive for use with standard hex keys and bit drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction resists corrosion in wet or humid environments
• Minimum order quantity of 10 units supports job-lot purchasing for service stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 3/8-24 UNF hex socket cap screw suitable for any threaded application specifying 18-8 stainless steel fine-thread fasteners in that size and length.

Installation Notes

Install using a calibrated torque wrench or hex key appropriate for the 5/16 inch drive. Always verify thread engagement depth in the mating material before final torque to avoid stripping. Do not mix thread classes or substitute coarse-thread hardware in fine-thread applications. Fastener installation in structural or pressure-bearing assemblies should comply with applicable mechanical and building codes.
