Value Collection R40692246 Hex Socket Cap Screw 3/8-24

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION R40692246 is a hex socket cap screw designed for secure fastening in applications requiring a flush or low-profile head with internal hex drive. Threaded 3/8-24 UNF, this fine-thread fastener measures 3 inches under the head and accepts a 5/16 inch hex key for installation. Constructed from 18-8 stainless steel, it delivers solid corrosion resistance suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors reach for this type of fastener when torque requirements are high and head clearance is limited.

This cap screw is suited for light industrial, mechanical, and equipment maintenance applications where a fine-thread, corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The 3/8-24 UNF thread pitch provides finer engagement than coarse-thread equivalents, making it a preferred choice in vibration-prone assemblies or applications where precise load distribution is needed. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• 3/8-24 UNF fine thread for precise engagement and vibration resistance
• 3 inch length under head accommodates medium-depth fastening applications
• 5/16 inch internal hex drive for high torque input with standard hex keys or Allen drivers
• 18-8 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet or outdoor environments
• Low-profile socket cap head style suited to recessed or clearance-limited installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard UNF hex socket cap screw for use in mechanical assemblies, equipment frames, and maintenance applications requiring a 3/8-24 fine-thread fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 5/16 inch hex key or Allen driver in good condition to prevent rounding the drive socket. Confirm thread engagement depth and mating material compatibility before final torque. When fastening into aluminum or soft substrates, avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage. Follow applicable mechanical or equipment manufacturer specifications for torque values.
